Montreal, Quebec – The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon TDI Clean Diesel has been named “Most Fuel-Efficient Station Wagon” by ecoENERGY. The announcement was made by the Department of Natural Resources at the 2009 Montreal International Auto Show.

The Department also announced the release of Canada’s Fuel Consumption Guide for 2009.

“This recognition by Natural Resources Canada is both tremendous and very timely,” said John White, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group Canada. “Volkswagen is launching its TDI Clean Diesel alternative fuel technology across Canada to give consumers a choice when purchasing or leasing a new vehicle. With today’s launch at the 2009 Montreal International Auto Show of our third TDI Clean Diesel offering, the 2009 Touareg, Volkswagen is delivering on its message of sustainable and environmentally responsible driving.”

In November, the Jetta TDI Clean Diesel was named “Green Car of the Year” at the Los Angeles Show, and earlier this week, was named “Earth, Wind and Power Most Environmentally-Friendly Car” at the International Car of the Year awards in Detroit.
