The new additions will support the company’s long-term commitment to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy across its range through the introduction of more efficient engines along with alternative powertrains, lighter vehicles and improved vehicle energy conservation.
At the heart of its low-emissions strategy, the new four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine is now in production at Jaguar Land Rover’s £1.0bil (RM5.6bil) Engine Manufacturing Centre.
Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, these are the most advanced engines the company has ever developed.
They will deliver up to 25% more power than the engines they replace and offer fuel consumption reductions of up to 15%
Looking to the future, Jaguar Land Rover has developed a revolutionary advanced automatic transmission that will both improve the efficiency of future vehicles and expand their all-wheel drive capability.
The Ingenium petrol engine features technologies, such as an electrohydraulic valvetrain, integrated exhaust manifold and twin scroll turbocharger with ceramic ball bearing technology.
Using a common architecture based on a 500cc per cylinder displacement delivers both maximum flexibility and scaleability.
This enables a range of derivatives to be developed to suit applications as diverse as sports saloons and luxury SUVs.
Following the launch of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesels in 2015, these advanced petrol engines become the latest Ingenium engines to enter production and will be available from 2017.
The Transcend transmission is part of an advanced research project that combines innovative mechanical design and advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver a compact, lightweight eight-speed transmission with an ultra-wide ratio spread of 20, more than double that of a conventional eight-speed automatics.
Weighing around 20kg less than existing eight-speed automatics, Transcend could be used in longitudinal rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.
Jaguar Land Rover has also made significant investments in new technology and environmental innovation in recent years.
Its vision for reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency is to make improvements in powertrain, continue its leadership in vehicle light-weighting and improve vehicle energy conservation.
Since 2008, Jaguar Land Rover has doubled the number of powertrain engineers and invested in the research of a range of future powertrain solutions.
This team is developing the technology that will help deliver a further 25% improvement in CO2 emissions in the next five years.
The company is committed to introducing electrification and has confirmed its electric future with an entry for Jaguar in the innovative FIA Formula E Championship.
This investment will push the boundaries of electrification technology and provides a real-world, fast-track test bed for future Jaguar Land Rover electrification technology, transferring it from track to road.
By 2020, new technologies will help us reduce our CO₂ emissions by a further 25%,” said Jaguar Land Rover group engineering director Nick Rogers
