Jaguar Land Rover's Sustainable Energy Solutions and Strategic Partnerships

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is advancing in sustainable energy solutions through a partnership with energy storage startup Allye Energy The collaboration introduces a portable battery system named Allye MAX BESS, leveraging second-life batteries from JLR's plug-in hybrid vehicles Designed to support fast-charging stations, it integrates seven re-purposed battery packs from Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV models, achieving a 270 kWh total capacity. JLR aims to deploy this system in the test drives for the upcoming Range Rover Electric, scheduled for release later this year This initiative is expected to cut over 15 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, confirming JLR's commitment to ecologically responsible practices Concurrently, JLR is nearing an agreement with Chery, China's third-largest automaker, to utilize its E0X EV platform. The strategic move will enable JLR to develop hybrid and electric models, although it remains unconfirmed if the soon-to-be-revealed electric Range Rover will be built on the E0X architecture Since its acquisition by Tata Motors in 2008, JLR has produced only one EV, the Jaguar I-Pace, and has pledged to transition exclusively to EV sales post-2023 and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2039.
