  8. LD Diesel market in the US • Currently Volkswagen is the only manufacturer offering LD Diesel vehicles in the US • Golf TDI • Jetta TDI • New Beetle TDI • About 7% of our total sales are Diesel • In Canada we sell about 30% Diesel

  9. Marketing obstacles in the US • Diesel image • Noisy • Smelly • Visible smoke • Fuel prices much lower than in Europe • Diesel concept cost higher than gasoline

  10. Positive US Marketing aspects • Future Diesels will be very clean • No visible smoke • Smell largely reduced • Cold start noise strongly reduced • Performance superior to gasoline • Fuel economy 40-50% better than conventional gasoline engine
