Story FIVA Award: Lifetime achievement award for Carl Horst Hahn

Immediately after assuming the position of Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen, Carl H. Hahn intensified relations with China. This resulted in a spectacular joint venture agreement that laid the foundations for the globalisation of the Volkswagen Group. The Santana became the successful volume model from this pioneering period. “In the first year, we sold 1,700 Santanas. That gave us a market share of 40 percent!”

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
