Every element of creating a
Jaguar has been improved to
meet our goals.
This has led us to technical innovations at every stage of a vehicle's life cycle – from the moment the car is made,
to the day it takes to the road and is eventually reclaimed and recycled. More importantly, it has led to new
applications of materials to drive weight from our cars. Light cars with performance engines that are truly exciting
to drive, more fuel efficient and better for the environment.
These are just some of the examples of ways we have made a difference.
REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION
INCREASED USE OF RECYCLABLE
AND VEHICLE EMISSIONS IMPACT:
MATERIALS
• World-leading XJ and XK aerospace-inspired
aluminium vehicle structures cut weight and
consumption dramatically versus an equivalent
steel body structure
• The Jaguar XF emits considerably less CO2 over
its lifetime than the prior model
• New V8 and V6 diesel engines that feature both
lower emissions and more performance.
• XF has 90kgs of components containing recyclate,
considered to be one of the best-in-class
• XK, XF and X-TYPE achieved environmental
requirements of type approval ahead of the 2010 target
• 85% of materials and components in our new
vehicles are re-usable and, or recyclable.
MANUFACTURING AND FACILITIES:
• Since 2001 reduced waste and resource
consumption
– Total energy usage – down by 57%
– Total water usage – down by 71%
– Total waste – down by 65%
• Since 1998 our design and manufacturing
locations have been certified to environmental
management practices ISO14001
• For 2009 the introduction of a CO2 offset
programme for our vehicle assembly plants.
DISTRIBUTION:
• Switched to rail distribution of new cars.
In the 10 years from 2003, this is estimated to save
more than 60 million truck miles.
RECYCLING:
• Working with customers to help reduce the impact
of the motorcar
– Implementing a take-back and recycling scheme
in the UK for end-of-life vehicles.

Jaguar’s strategy
for integrated design
efficiencies started in
earnest a decade ago.
It began with the development of the aluminium platform for XJ, our large premium
flagship saloon car introduced in 2003.
This thinking was advanced further with the new XK which used more lightweight
components and together both cars set new standards for performance and, thanks
to their light weight, lower fuel consumption – this will continue in our future products.
This has given us inspiration for the next ten years and beyond; both to optimise our
manufacturing and distribution, as well as the performance of our cars through ongoing
refinement and adoption of the latest technology.
Our smallest car, the X-TYPE was introduced in 2001 and we have continued to upgrade
this vehicle ever since in line with our ethos of continuous development. Powered by
a 2.2 litre diesel, the X-TYPE achieves 52 mpg in the Extra Urban cycle when fitted with
a catalysed diesel particulate filter.
In 2009, Jaguar is making the next commitment beyond lightweight body structures in
its larger cars by installing two new engine ranges of class-leading efficiency. Less than
a year after launch we are introducing, ultra-high efficiency diesels to the XF that achieve
a remarkable 42 mpg and 179g/km of CO2 and our all-new AJ-V8 Gen III petrol engines,
together with upgraded transmissions, produce less emissions and better fuel consumption
than the engines they replace.

The XJ is an example of how we
have led the industry in the drive
to reduce vehicle weight.
Manufactured from aluminium, the XJ’s bodyshell is 40%
lighter than the equivalent steel body and up to 200kg
lighter than the previous model. This improves performance
in three ways, better acceleration, more efficient braking
and more agile handling that benefits dynamic safety.
Other significant benefits include, lower fuel economy
and CO2 emissions, as well as enhanced crash safety.
The XK has taken this technology and experience one
step further with extended use of aluminium castings and
extrusions to complement the aluminium pressed panels.
These construction techniques have resulted in a saving
of 116kg over an equivalent steel body shell, equal to the
weight of an adult male passenger.
This philosophy of designing exceptionally strong, light and
aerodynamically efficient cars was again deployed in our
new premium sports car – the XK range launched in 2006.

The detailed thought and care that goes into making our cars extends into finding ways to minimise the
environmental impact from the manufacturing and final disposal of our cars. Reducing energy consumption,
material use and waste – lean manufacturing - enables our operations to be economically and environmentally
more efficient. We encourage our suppliers to apply these principles to the processes they use to assemble
the components we purchase from them.
Improving the environmental performance of our production facilities began in the early 1990s. We have
been certified to the international environmental management standard, ISO14001 since 1998. We have made
considerable reductions in energy consumption, in water use and waste, and plan several more environmental
programmes to continue this trend.
Energy
Waste We are committed to achieving our share
of reducing energy consumption and have
already cut our total energy use by 57% in the
six years to 2007. We have installed combined
heat and power facilities at our factories
that reduce CO2 emissions and are evaluating
renewable energy opportunities.
The UK is home to approximately 60 million
people in a relatively small geographic area.
Finding environmentally sound ways to dispose
of the country’s domestic and industrial waste
has become a serious challenge.
Water Use
At first glance, water supply doesn’t seem a
critical issue in the UK compared with hotter,
drier parts of the world. However, winters
with below average rainfall and concentrated
populations in certain parts of the country,
mean that water usage can have significant
environmental impacts.
Waste reduction, and even elimination, has to
play a large role in tackling the waste problem.
By working closely with our waste management
contractors, we reduced our total waste by 65%
in the six years to 2007, and recycled as much as
possible of the remainder. We recognise we can
do considerably more and are investigating new
waste reduction opportunities going forward.
At Jaguar, our main use of water is during the
painting process and veneer manufacturing.
In the six years to 2007, we reduced our total
water use by over two thirds.

In 2001 Jaguar began to work
with the National Forest on an
ecological project in the UK.
The result is the Jaguar Walnut Wood located at Lount in the heart of Leicestershire, less than 30 miles from
Jaguar’s UK HQ. It was first planted on former farmland, but there are now more than 13,000 walnut trees and
70,000 other trees in a scenic 80-hectare woodland. Within it is a 27-hectare experimental zone researching
the growth of different varieties of walnut tree for use as a hardwood timber and as a source of nuts.

In April 2009 Jaguar will
be introducing a programme
to offset the CO2 emitted
during the assembly of all
vehicles produced at our
two manufacturing plants
in the UK.
Working with carbon offset experts, ClimateCare, we will invest in
projects that focus on three actions; switching from fossil fuels to
renewable energy, promoting renewable technology and improving
energy efficiency within communities and industry alike.
Simultaneously, Jaguar will be launching a voluntary programme that
will allow owners to offset the CO2 emissions of their vehicle (both
new and pre-owned). Owners who elect to do this will receive a
certificate from ClimateCare and the facility to see on their website
the projects that their contribution will support.

In 2008 the British Government teamed up with consumer magazine What Car? to rank the
top ten cars in each class with the lowest average CO2 emissions. The XJ 2.7 litre diesel holds
a leadership position in its category, while the X-TYPE 2.0 litre diesel features in the top ten
of compact executive cars. (source: www.dft.gov.uk/ActOnCO2.)
Jaguar was awarded the Luxury Sector Category in the UK’s Environmental Transport Association’s
(ETA) guide in 2006, 2007 and 2008. This award recognises Jaguar’s commitment to delivering
CO2 and fuel consumption advantages to customers with the development of its industry-leading
diesel engines and application of advanced lightweight aluminium vehicle architectures.
The ETA guide lists 2,500 new cars and provides a star-based ranking system that gives consumers
an overview of any vehicle’s performance against the following categories; power, CO2 emissions,
fuel consumption, noise and safety. The XJ beat off strong competition from other luxury car
brands to claim this award in 2007 and 2008 – following the X-TYPE, which previously won the
category in 2006.
2003 2007
This is the latest in a long line of awards for Jaguar’s flagship XJ model, which demonstrated
its fuel economy credentials in 2007 by covering 1000.2 miles on a single tank of fuel – with
an average fuel consumption of 53.5 mpg, equating to 139g/km of CO2.

IN FUTURE SOLUTIONS
In addition to the significant
efficiencies achieved in
designing our cars and
manufacturing facilities of
today we are investing heavily
in the future.
Jaguar engineers, with our sister brand Land Rover, are at the forefront of developing new, sustainable
technology and as a business we are investing £800m on projects specifically aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
This investment is in addition to the recently announced UK Government funding of an additional £70m
through the Technology Strategy Board. We support the Government’s continued restructuring of the
UK economy in favour of high value, knowledge-based design, manufacturing and services.
We are a designated Key Technology Area for the development of technologies that will significantly reduce
CO2 emissions through the Low Carbon Vehicles Integrated Delivery Programme. This will assist Jaguar
(and other UK vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers) to accelerate and widen programmes to achieve
even more substantial CO2 improvements for vehicles.
Jaguar’s collaboration within the UK Motor Industry and Government partnership aims to deliver a global
premium vehicle demonstrating a 25-30% reduction in CO2 emissions with no loss of performance using
an innovative, significantly smaller petrol engine with two-stroke/four-stroke switching technology.
We will continue to investigate the potential implementation in Jaguar products of advanced technologies
including hybrid powertrains.

KEY TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS
We are involved in a number of projects
through collaborations with government
agencies, universities and suppliers.
To date four key projects are currently
being progressed with support from
the Technology Strategy Board (TSB)
and the Department of Transport.
LIMO-GREEN CONCEPT
Jaguar’s class leading lightweight aluminium
body structures will be used as a basis for testing
the concept of a large luxury vehicle with an
advanced hybrid electric driveline, consisting of
an advanced drive motor, small battery pack and
a small auxiliary power generator for sustained
cruising. This will demonstrate a vehicle with
sub 120g/km CO2 whilst maintaining the
premium quality of the vehicle.
FLYWHEEL HYBRID
SYSTEM FOR PREMIUM
VEHICLES
To design and develop a mechanical hybrid
(flywheel and variable drive system), kinetic
energy recovery system (KERS) for use in premium
segment passenger vehicle as an alternative, cost
competitive solution to other hybrid systems.
RANGE EXTENDED
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(REHEV)
LOWER COST,
LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLES
BY INCREASING THE
USE OF RE-CYCLED
ALUMINIUM
To develop a modular electric and electric/
diesel powertrain, suitable for several different
vehicle types. This will be tested on a large
premium sport utility platform delivering
120-130g/km CO2 and a zero emissions range
of at least 12 miles. The project will also
investigate range extension and plug-in charging.
To demonstrate, within 5 years, the feasibility
of a mass producible, lightweight car based on
a body structure built using sustainable aluminium
sheet derived in part from low cost energy
efficient recycled post consumer scrap. This will
be a key enabler for the mass production in the
UK of lower CO2 emitting premium cars.
