The Beijing Olympics will have a complete fleet of 5,000 "green cars" by Volkswagen, which is an official sponsor. The chosen models are the Magotan 2.0 TDI (6.2 l/100) and Magotan BlueMotion (5.1 l/100), the Sagitar 1.4 TSI (6.4 l/100), the Touran EcoFuel (bifuel CNG/gasoline) and the Tiguan 2.0 TDI (6.9 l/100). The Magotan is a locally-produced version of the VW Passat and the Sagitar is the name used to identify the Jetta. The Olympic cars carry a special car design, which features Olympic tradition with symbols that represent the concepts of "mobility", "wind" and "street" combined.
