As we all know, many of Jaguar's models use aluminum body frames, which have obvious weight and power advantages compared to traditional steel body cars. Recently, Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Motors, revealed that all future Jaguar and Land Rover models will adopt an all-aluminum body structure. This move will help Jaguar and Land Rover models to reduce their body weight and improve fuel economy data.
Tata Motors, which owns Jaguar and Land Rover, disclosed this information through Ratan Tata’s speech in the company’s annual report. In 2008, Jaguar and Land Rover both experienced huge losses, with losses amounting to 673.4 million pounds (1.1 billion U.S. dollars).
These losses are mainly due to the high cost of new model development and the sluggish luxury car market, but vehicle production costs are also a factor. The cost of using an aluminum body structure is certainly higher than that of a steel body, but due to the reduction in body weight, fuel economy will be greatly improved, and Jaguar and Land Rover are hoping to show the public their more environmentally-friendly future. .
Jaguar has extensively adopted aluminum body frames on its XJ and XK models. As Jay Leopard senior engineer Andrew Tarpey revealed to the media, "All-aluminum bodywork is the basis of important models with features such as high safety, high driving dynamics and high performance," and the wider use of this material will allow designers to "Designing a lightweight and highly fuel-efficient body structure will use fewer parts and joints, and the body structure will be stronger."
