Jaguar Land Rover is boosting their powertrain efficiency, recently unveiling new technology that improves fuel economy and reduces emissions. The new powertrains will compliment Jaguar Land Rover’s current and future lineup. Forthcoming models will see a weight reduction to increase overall vehicle efficiency as well.
“Environmental innovation is at the heart of our strategy to dramatically reduce emissions up to 2020 and beyond,” said Nick Rogers, Group Engineering Director.
Dual Purpose
Jaguar Land Rover’s efficiency strategy hinges on two vital elements: a new four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine and an emerging generation of transmissions. The four-cylinder Ingenium is already in production at the Engine Manufacturing Centre in the United Kingdom. The new automatic transmissions come from the TRANSCEND research project, a multi-million dollar investment by Jaguar Land Rover. “With the Ingenium family of powertrains and advanced research projects such as TRANSCEND, future Jaguar Land Rover vehicles will emit significantly less CO2,” Rogers said.
