VW Group is to group its environmental measures under the banner goTOzero, with Oliver Blume, member of the group board of management responsible for environmental protection, saying: "Our efforts to improve environmental protection cover the entire product cycle, from development, production and operation to the subsequent recycling of our vehicles and administration.

In the steps to do this, by 2025 the company plans to reduce the carbon footprint of its fleet by 30 per cent over its entire lifecycle compared to 2015.
