Rome, February 8
th, 2021 - An exceptional partner, Enel X, is brought onboard in the strategy to electrify the entire Jaguar Land Rover range for increasingly sustainable and widespread mobility. The Enel Group global business line that designs and develops solutions focused on the principles of sustainability and circular economy, to provide people, communities, institutions and companies with an alternative model that respects the environment and integrates technological innovation in daily life, has partnered with Jaguar Land Rover Italia on the path to spread electric mobility.
Now in early 2021, Jaguar Land Rover has already reached its target to offer electrification for all models in its range, while its intention, which is of no less importance, is to make the choice of switching to electric increasingly simple and user friendly. This is an ethical, eco-sustainable and future-oriented approach, embracing a different life philosophy.
Road test: Why the GV80 SUV is the best Genesis car to date
The $82,000 GV80 4WD Royal 3.5 SUV is a promising package despite its penchant for plastic
The GV80 is the first SUV from South Korean carmaker Genesis brand, priced at Dh300,000
The front is dominated by a massive crest-shaped grille, flanked by distinctive two-tier headlights
The car has a sporty profile and well-shaped derriere
The GV80 offers an agile drive despite its 1,715mm length and 2,240kg girth
The 22-inch wheels, 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine and eight-speed auto make this a steady and smooth cruiser
The downside is the amount of plastic employed, from the grille to within the cabin
Less weight, more stiffness.
Whatever you may think of Jaguar Land Rover products, the last thing that is likely to creep into your mind is the word light . Cars like the Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover Velar are ridiculously heavy, even when there s a lot of aluminum at play. However, JLR isn t content to let well enough be.
A few months ago, the company announced a new project that would place a greater focus on lightness through experimenting with aerospace-grade materials, but it doesn t stop there. This week, JLR announced a new composites project that ultimately aims to prevent 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in the decade-long period from 2023 to 2032.

JLR endured a tough year as demand for models such as the Range Rover Velar slumped in key export markets
UK car manufacturing output fell 29.3% in 2020 to 920,928 units, the lowest total since 1984 as the industry was hit by lower global demand due to the pandemic.
Data issued by the SMMT showed production for UK and overseas markets declined 30.4% and 29.1% respectively, but with more than eight in 10 cars exported.
Forecasts for 2021 point to some recovery, with UK car output projected at around one million units this year. However, much depends on an easing of the health emergency around the world and returning economic growth and confidence.
