ticular make the Phaeton a compelling vehicle. These
innovations include a new brake system, Dynamic
Light Assist and a navigation system that, if desired,
integrates online data into the maps displayed. In ad-
dition, an optional front camera allows the new Phae-
ton to “see” traffic signs and display them in the mul-
tifunction instrument panel and on the touch screen in
the center console. The Chinese premiere of the Ti-
guan, which is available with an extended wheelbase
especially for the Chinese market, also attracted a
great deal of attention.
The new Audi A8 L* was another new model
unveiled to the global public at Auto China. An ex-
tended wheelbase and a twelve-cylinder engine enable
this top-of-the-range Audi model to set new standards
in luxury, dynamics and efficiency. The Audi A8 L’s
aluminum body is produced using the award-winning
Audi Space Frame (ASF) design and weighs around 40
percent less than a comparable steel structure. Its
technical highlights include full-LED headlights.
The Volkswagen passenger cars brand also
celebrated two other world premieres at exclusive
events in the second quarter of 2010: the Polo sedan,
which was developed especially for the Russian mar-
ket and is produced at the Kaluga plant, was pre-
sented in Moscow at the beginning of June, and the
new Jetta made its debut in Times Square, New York,
on 15 June.
Joining forces through strategic alliances
In the fields of vehicle development and pro-
duction, Volkswagen continues its cooperation with
Porsche AG, Daimler AG and the Chrysler group in
2009. In fiscal year 2009, Scania entered into a stra-
tegic partnership with Chinese bus bodywork manu-
facturer Higer, on the basis of which the two compa-
nies will team up with Scania Touring in China to pro-
duce a bus for the global market.
In the field of renewable second-generation
biofuels, the Volkswagen group is continuing to work
with CHOREN Industries and IOGEN. The Volkswagen
group has held a financial investment in CHOREN In-
dustries since 2007.
