Volkswagen Dubai encourages everyone to “Think Blue”

The makers of the “People’s Car” promote environmentally friendly practices in the Middle East

Volkswagen Middle East announces “Think Blue”, the car manufacturer’s environmentally conscious campaign, shortly to be launched in the Middle East. “Think Blue” embodies Volkswagen’s goal of creating environmentally friendly products and solutions, encouraging the public to be more eco-conscious and contribute to a sustainable future. “Think Blue” is a concept that encourages being more responsible on the road, and more environmentally conscious in everyday life.

Discussing “Think Blue” Stefan Mecha, Managing Director, Volkswagen Middle East commented: “I am pleased to announce that Volkswagen Middle East is introducing the global initiative “Think Blue” to the Middle East. “Think Blue” is about more than economic engines and fuel efficiency, it is about consciously changing small habits in one’s lifestyle that will help for example to save energy, save water and recycle goods – small steps really do lead to great changes.”

Volkswagen Middle East is committed to making a difference to the environment and as a result already includes more economically friendly engines within its innovative, German engineered cars. The DSG dual clutch gearbox saves 15 percent fuel and the TSI engine turbo is Volkswagen’s small engine that is environmentally efficient but does not compromise on power.
