EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS
Jaguar Land Rover is committed to producing vehicles that use more
sustainable materials, produce less waste and use fewer natural resources as
part of our approach to sustainability excellence. The E-PACE development
process has included a full life cycle assessment and has been designed to
be 85 percent recyclable/re-usable and 95 percent recoverable at the end
of the vehicle's life.
The E-PACE streamlined shape navigates air around the rear wheels to reduce
turbulence. The smooth underfloor has been honed through exhaustive testing
to perfect airflow efficiency.
Helping the E-PACE cut through the air, lower bumper intakes optimize airflow
past the front wheels, by feeding air to the inner wheel arch from ducts in the
front spoiler. In the upper and lower front grille, two intelligent Active Vanes
open when necessary to let in cool air, but whenever possible they shut.
Recycled materials have been used in the E-PACE wherever possible.
Each car contains up to 22 lbs of recycled plastics, which is the equivalent
of 769 small plastic water bottles. The use of recycled material in the E-PACE
means that approximately 6,290 tons of plastic are diverted away from
landfills over its entire life cycle. Parts containing recycled plastics include
the floor console base, wheel arch liners, and electrical box covers.
To reduce drag, which in turn reduces CO2 emissions, an aero blade below the
rear bumper helps redirect air away from the rear of the car. It also helps clean
your rear windshield and lights.
ECO MODE
Eco Mode encourages fuel-efficient driving by reducing throttle sensitivity,
selecting more economical engine mapping. It is designed to help reduce
fuel consumption by minimizing the energy demands placed on the engine
by climate control and audio systems. A display on the Touchscreen provides
vehicle data and driving tips.
ENGINE MANUFACTURING CENTER
Jaguar Land Rover's Engine Manufacturing Center – where all of the E-PACE
engines are developed – features the largest rooftop solar panel installation in
the UK. Comprising 22,600 individual panels, which are capable of providing
up to 6.2MW (enough energy to power 1,600 homes), the panels generate
more than 30 percent of the site's energy, reducing the plant's CO2 footprint
by over 2,400 tons per year.
