Context Volkswagen is a leader in low-consumption vehicles in Europe. While the legislation is becoming more stringent, the company launched the Lupo 3L TDI with still unrivalled low CO2 emissions (81g/km). |
Philosophy/Solution To promote an eco-product focusing on the overall value, innovation, safety and quality. The environmental concept is integrated and the series of advertisements for the car’s launch highlighted the innovative aspects of the Lupo 3L. |
Results Despite a positive and extensive press coverage supported by strong recommendations from environmental groups, the pricing was a real barrier for consumers and led to a commercial failure. But it certainly contributed to extend purchases of advanced diesels in Europe |
