We reduce tractive resistance. And consequently also fuel consumption.

Streamline aerodynamics in combination with intelligent lightweight body construction make the most of the scope for minimising tractive resistance. Low-resistance tyres with optimised rolling resistance perfectly complement the body design. We are thus able to keep fuel consumption and emissions low from the outset. And build supremely efficient vehicles.
