ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY EFFICIENCY DRIVES SUSTAINABILITY Range Rover demonstrates Land Rover’s commitment to enhancing the sustainability of its products and operations and its determination to deliver vehicles which are both relevant and highly desirable. With its lightweight aluminium structure and optimised powertrains. Range Rover addresses the growing consumer need for more socially acceptable vehicles in a carbon-conscious world. Its greener credentials stem from a comprehensive approach to reducing environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the vehicle; from development and manufacturing, to customer use and end-of-life. SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN, WITH LIFE CYCLE APPROACH In order to minimise the vehicle’s overall ecological impact, Range Rover is designed with a life cycle approach, aiming to minimise the environmental impact by considering the entire life cycle of the vehicle. Each element of the life cycle was analysed with a view to consuming fewer natural resources, using more sustainable materials and minimising the generation of waste. The development process has included a full life cycle assessment in line with ISO 14040/14044.

Range Rover’s aluminium construction makes a major contribution to its reduced carbon footprint. Up to 50 percent of the aluminium material is sourced from recycled content, resulting in a significant saving of energy and CO 2 emissions. Recycled and renewable materials are used wherever possible in the Range Rover. High specification vehicles use up to 31.5kg of recycled plastics, diverting over 8,820 tonnes of plastic from landfill during the carline’s life. Natural and renewable materials, such as the luxurious leathers and veneers, represent 44.5kg of each vehicle. Bridge of Weir leather, produced in the UK using unique ‘low carbon’ and low water consumption manufacturing processes, adds further to the environmental credentials of the vehicle, while the real wood veneers are all sourced from sustainable forests. INTELLIGENT STOP START SYSTEM To ensure the greatest possible fuel efficiency, all Range Rover powertrains incorporate low-CO 2 technologies such as the advanced Intelligent Stop/Start system, which improves fuel consumption by between 5 and 7 percent. The system automatically shuts down the engine at rest and starts it again as soon as you lift your foot off the brake. It features a Tandem Solenoid Starter with a dedicated secondary battery for instant restarting.

Vehicle shown left is Autobiography in Indus Silver with optional features fitted (market dependent).
