Volkswagen hopes to tell people through its auto industry toward the development of electric drives.

     Golf "TwinDrive" a new generation of "electric plug (Plug-In)" hybrid technology. The car driver in the power mode can be driven about 50 km. Day-to-day running of all sections, the basic realization of zero emissions have been closed. For example, about 50 kilometers from the road, this golf "TwinDrive" consumption per kilometer of only 8 kwh of electricity and 2.5 liters of fuel. And its power and control of the same good performance, the engine for maximum power of 130 kilowatts. The Golf "TwinDrive" and "test electric vehicles" project has become a driving force for car research highlights areas of concern.

     Germany"s environmental minister, said: "With the advanced "TwinDrive" drive technology, the future car will be able to use solar, wind and water power generated by charging and breaking through the traditional limitations of drive cars."

     "Electric vehicles test" is initiated by the German Federal Government R & D projects in a large part of Volkswagen as a car manufacturer with seven companies to work together on future in-depth study carried out car. This operation is also costly pilot project, a total of 20 test vehicles formed a convoy driving test will be renewable wind energy, hydropower, solar power generated by the driving force as the driving.
