Regarding the content, the annual and sustainability report 2016 also takes a new approach. The two-part format is designed to be simultaneously informative and inspirational. The report’s first part – “Performance” – documents the company’s economic and sustainable development as well as its current performance capacity based on financial figures, environmental and energy data as well as on a review of the year’s important events.
On the other hand, the report’s second part – “Perspective” – provides entertaining but also reflective insights into a company poised between tradition and the future. The topics deal with change in the automobile industry induced by digitisation, sustainability as a central social issue, the culture of error in innovation processes, the factory of tomorrow and the connection between renewal and psychology. Among the authors are the business essayist Wolf Lotter, the sustainability experts Prof. Dr. Stefan Schaltegger and Dr. Holger Peterson and the business author Harald Willenbrock.
Augmented reality functions add exciting audio visual and informative content to the report. Videos and animations extend the printed version to the digital world. But the range of services was expanded as well: The interactive comparison of key figures allows users both to compare figures from different years and display these comparisons. The user can compile individual comparisons and overviews by selecting such parameters as the period of time and key figure categories. The visualisation form (e.g. diagram, table) can be selected freely as well. And finally, the graphs can be saved in various formats (e.g. PNG, XLS, PDF).
The online version of the report is available as of now on its own microsite in the

* The data presented here was recorded using the Euro 6 test procedure (715/2007/EC, 692/2008/EC, 566/2011/EC and ECE-R 101) and the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The respective figures were not recorded on individual vehicles and do not constitute part of the offer. This data is provided solely for the purpose of comparison between the respective models. Fuel consumption was recorded on vehicles with standard specification. Optional equipment may affect fuel consumption and vehicle performance. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are not only determined by a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, but also by the driving style and other factors irrespective of vehicle specification.
