Our commitment is to a sustainable future. Everything from the design of our vehicles and
the way we build them, to how and where we use them and, at the end of their life, to how they
can be safely disposed of, Land Rover is committed to a sustainable future. We’re committed to
reducing our impact on the environment and are working in four key areas.
e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES.
In 2007 we announced a joint investment into
new technologies to improve the environmental
performance of our vehicles. This joint investment
now stands at £800m. Building on the innovation of
the Land_e concept, the first of these technologies
is the Stop/Start engine in our diesel manual
Freelander 2. In 2008 we revealed our new concept
vehicle, the LRX; a Land Rover in body and spirit but
conceived as a hybrid 2.0 litre diesel with potential
CO2 emissions of 120g/km.
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING.
World class manufacturing facilities. Certified to ISO14001 since 1998.
Our manufacturing facilities at Solihull and Halewood have reduced emissions by
around 4 percent year on year, over the last 5 years. Our TDV6 and TDV8 engines
are assembled in the Dagenham Diesel Centre which is powered by wind turbines.
Total energy used in manufacturing each vehicle has been reduced by 19 percent
since 2002. While water use per vehicle has been cut by 14 percent in the same period.
We’re also offsetting all CO2 emissions by the manufacturing assembly of Land Rover
vehicles at both plants. Partnered with specialist organisation Climate Care, our
offset projects include a wind farm in China and hydro electric generators in Tajikistan.
In addition, Land Rover vehicles are now designed to be 85 percent recyclable with all
current models meeting the European End of Life Vehicles Directive. Sustainable and
recyclable materials play an important role too: Freelander 2 contains 10 percent
recycled and 10 percent renewable materials.
