Audi e-tron new “companion” of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup

Audi FIS Ski World Cup Opening in Soelden

Group picture with all athletes

On the weekend of October 27/28, the 2018/2019 Audi FIS Ski World Cup season will open with giant slalom events in Sölden (Austria). Two days before the first races are held on the Rettenbach glacier, athletes, coaches and international media representatives once again gathered in the valley for the traditional Audi Media Talk. One of the main topics of conversation at the event that unofficially kicks off the World Cup was the new sponsoring display of the brand with the four rings in winter sports.Starting this season, the new Audi e-tron will be visually in focus at the events supported by Audi. The opener in Sölden marks the beginning of a tour that will take the alpine ski teams to 34 venues in Europe and North America. In addition to the World Ski Championships starting in Åre (Sweden) on February 5, the legendary Hahnenkamm weekend in Kitzbühel (Austria) will be a highlight. The Audi e-tron will be present on both occasions. In Åre, the all-electric SUV will additionally serve as a shuttle car and provide driving impressions as part of the Audi driving experience.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO₂ emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regards as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tire formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO₂ emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
