Environment
Opel is committed to energy diversity
Opel leads environmentally-friendly
technology development
Opel is pursuing energy diversity on many fronts. It is clear to us
that petroleum alone cannot fuel all of the world’s rapidly growing
demand for enhanced personal mobility. We must develop alternative sources of propulsion, using a variety of energy sources.
Opel supports reducing vehicle emissions and has a clear
strategy regarding environmentally-friendly technology
development:
• Opel will continue to improve internal combustion engines
as well as manual and automatic transmissions.
• Key to its energy-diversity strategy is a variety of technical
details to improve vehicle performance and significantly
reduce CO2 emissions.
• Opel will also continue its efforts to displace petroleum
fuels with alternative fuels such as CNG/LPG.
• Opel is a leader in CNG vehicles that can also be fueled
with biogas.
• Opel will introduce pure battery-electric vehicles in
smaller-size segments
Opel has a broad commitment to producing electric-drive vehicles
that help diversify energy sources, reduce emissions and improve
fuel efficiency.
The innovative Voltec electric-drive technology, featured
in the Opel Ampera, is an important step to leadership in the
development of electrically-driven vehicles.
• With the Ampera, Opel will be the first European automobile
manufacturer to provide customers with an electrically
driven vehicle capable of being the primary vehicle in the
household.
• Ampera and the Chevrolet Volt are the first electricallydriven cars to provide zero range anxiety (from being
stranded by a depleted battery) as well as zero emissions.
• Ampera and the Chevrolet Volt will deliver 60 km (40 miles)
of emission-free electric driving, with the capability to
extend the range to more than 500 of kilometers via an
on-board generator.
• Featuring GM’s fourth-generation fuel-cell propulsion,
HydroGen4 produces an electric output of up to 93 kW and
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 12 seconds.
• Project “Driveway”, the world’s largest market test of
fuel-cell vehicles:
• In November 2008, 10 HydroGen4 vehicles were added to
the test fleet of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) in
Berlin, Germany – a program supported by GM/Opel, fuel
companies, utilities, other automakers and the German
government. CEP provides customers with hydrogenpowered vehicles and fueling stations for day-to-day
testing. The project will run through 2016.
• Nine large corporations – ADAC, Allianz, Axel Springer AG,
Coca-Cola, Hilton, Linde, Schindler, Total, and Veolia – are
the first business partners to test the HydroGen4 in Berlin, in
day-to-day operation.

Opel environmental initiatives in Europe
Opel/Vauxhall offers a wide range of low CO2 g/km ecoFlex
variants in each model line. Opel/Vauxhall ecoFLEX models
combine the best of both worlds: they offer low emissions and
fuel consumption without compromising on performance or
driving dynamics.
Heart of the Insignia ecoFLEX model is the 4-cylinder 2.0 CDTI
engine with two versions: 118 kW/160 hp or 95 kW/130 hp. Both
consume only 5.2 liters of diesel per 100 km – equivalent to
136 g/km of CO2 emissions – yet they deliver generous torque
values ranging from 320 up to 380 Nm. That is thanks to
a powerful, new-generation 2-liter common-rail turbo diesel
engine refined specifically for the ecoFLEX range
In 2009 Opel expanded its initiative to promote regenerative
electricity production by building a solar energy power plant on
the roofs of its Rüsselsheim and Kaiserslautern manufacturing
facilities.
Some examples:
The new Opel Corsa ecoFLEX is more respectful of the
environment and more fun to drive than ever. It is powered by
a sophisticated, 70 kW/95 hp 1.3 CDTI diesel engine boosted
by a turbo with variable geometry. It is packed with 28 percent
more power than the previous generation Corsa ecoFLEX even
though fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are slashed by
some 10 percent to 98 g/km CO2.
The Astra’s line-up of powertrains with manual transmission
provides impressive performance and overall cuts CO2 emissions
by more than 12 percent compared with the current generation.
The average fuel consumption of the diesel engines is 4.6 l/100 km
and only 6.1 l/100 km for the gasoline line-up. Ecological star of
the Opel Astra model line is the 95 hp Astra 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX
which boasts an average fuel consumption of only 4.2 liters per
100 kilometers and just 109 g/km CO2 emissions.
