Tata is seriously orienting towards environmental responsibility as all its future production for both Jaguar and Land Rover will contain huge use of lightweight aluminium.
The cars built with lightweight aluminium save a lot of the total weight leading to considerable lower CO2 emissions. It is the case of the new Jaguar's flagship XJ saloon, a model with lots of aluminium in its body, translated into a much lighter chassis, with almost 40% less than the standard steel version.
Also the previous generation XJ had benefit of fuel efficiency and lower emissions from aluminium-intensive chassis construction. [via autocar]
