The new Volkswagen electronic architecture E3

High levels of integration with ICAS servers. The electronic and software architecture with the highest current development level is used in the new ID. family. It is called E3, which stands for end-to-end electronic architecture. It has two high-performance computers at its heart: ICAS1 and ICAS3, where ICAS stands for In Car Application Server. In conventional cars, the tasks performed by ICAS1 and ICAS3 were and still are distributed among a large number of smaller computers – the local control units. The ICAS modules raise the performance capability of the hardware and software to a level that opens up a completely new spectrum of possibilities.

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.
