SURVEY REVEALS STRONG COMMITMENT OF CLEAN DIESEL DRIVERS TO THEIR VEHICLES BASED ON FUEL EFFICIENCY, ECONOMIC VALUE AND PERFORMANCE
“Diesel Disconnect” on the Benefits of Clean Diesel Exists Among Gasoline and Hybrid Drivers
Herndon, Va. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today released the findings of its first annual Clean Diesel IQ Survey. The survey found that clean diesel drivers have an overwhelming commitment to clean diesel vehicles and are acutely aware of its benefits, but broad understanding of clean diesel technology remains uneven among non-diesel drivers. The survey findings will be officially released tonight at the German American Chamber of Commerce Automotive Forum “Clean Diesel on the Rise” at 6 p.m. in the Press Lounge at Ink48 Hotel.
The survey of 1,511 U.S. gasoline, hybrid and clean diesel drivers revealed that 88 percent of clean diesel drivers believe that clean diesels are some of today’s most fuel-efficient vehicles, and that more than half of gasoline and hybrid drivers agree. For clean diesel drivers, 53 percent listed better mileage as their top clean diesel vehicle attribute. Additionally, more than half of clean diesel drivers who responded to the survey characterize their vehicles as having strong acceleration capabilities.
“Though there is a lack of awareness among non-diesel drivers, current clean diesel owners know that their vehicles are quick, clean, efficient, and fun to drive,” said Douglas Skorupski, Manager of Technical Strategy, Volkswagen of America. “And we know that once a driver experiences a clean diesel vehicle, they become dedicated to the diesel powertrain.”
