15 million VW Passats in the world; BlueMotion version given to bone marrow donor center
Filed under: Diesel, Volkswagen
15 million anything is a lot, but when it comes to cars, it feels like an even bigger number. Thus, Volkswagen is celebrating the production of the 15 millionth Passat today at its Emden plant in Germany. In a green/charitable touch, VW donated the car, a silver Passat Variant BlueMotion 1.9 TDI with 77 kW (105 HP), to the DKMS (German Bone Marrow Donor Center). VW has been making Passats for 34 years, and the new BlueMotion editions have been winning eco certificates with their decent CO2 per km emissions numbers. VW also sells a bunch of these cars in Germany and worldwide. Congrats.
