Reeves Import Motorcars

And now we have another brand to add to the “green” list.  Tata Motors have announced in their annual report that their recently acquired Jaguar and Land Rover brands have made the progressive move to go all-aluminum.

“JLR is planning to have all its future cars constructed with light weight aluminum bodies resulting in considerable savings in weight, and reduction in CO2 emissions,” Tata said in the company’s annual report.

There are many benefits to aluminum bodies besides environmental-friendliness; improved vehicle performance and better fuel economy are all included in the package.  With stricter emissions and fuel economy regulations looming on the horizon, JLR’s new owners quickly moved aluminum body construction to the top of its list.

In addition to reduced emissions and great fuel economy, the switch to aluminum bodies will also create stiffer vehicles, resulting in better overall performance. Aluminum bodyconstruction requires fewer parts and joints that its steel counterpart, improving crash worthiness and overall road manners.
