  "account": "Volkswagen has unveiled a new study called the Mission Efficiency, a technologically advanced electric vehicle designed for efficiency. Based on the MEB+ platform, it features an electric motor with 99 kW/136 PS and a 52 kWh battery, achieving a range of 654 kilometers. The vehicle's aerodynamic design, including a wind resistance coefficient of 0.158, contributes to its exceptional efficiency, with a recorded consumption of 7.51 kWh on a 1,300-kilometer test drive from Wolfsburg to Vienna. The Mission Efficiency boasts a spacious interior, a 481-liter trunk, and innovative features such as a removable tablet and solar panels that can generate an additional 30 kilometers of range per day.",
  "summary": "Efficiency is a matter of form - VW proves this to us with a new fuel-saving model in the tradition of the XL1. But how many compromises would customers have to make if the electric car were to be produced in series?",
