The people awareness about the global warning has pulled the trigger for the environmental friendly car manufacture race. Range Rovers have long been criticized for their environmental impact but times have changed and the new Evoque is here to prove this, with the vehicle offering a profound eco attitude.
Land Rover has received certification from the VCA (Vehicle Certification Agency) for a comprehensive 'cradle-to-grave' study which analyses the environmental impact of its new Range Rover Evoque. This is the first time that Land Rover has received VCA approval following a detailed life cycle study. The life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Range Rover Evoque was fully audited and approved by the VCA, making Land Rover one of only a few vehicle manufacturers to have completed an officially recognised study of the environmental impact of a vehicle - from manufacturing, through a lifetime of customer use, to ultimate disposal and recycling.
“I’m very pleased to have presented this certificate to the team at Land Rover. Operating in a sustainable way and producing products that reflect this ethos is clearly a very important part of business. Initiatives such as Life Cycle Assessment provide a framework that allows industry to assess the environmental impacts of a product from concept through to the end of vehicle life,” said Paul Markwick, VCA CEO.
JLR is committed to a sustainable business future and is working toward ambitious long term business targets for products and processes with an overall target of 25 per cent reductions in operational CO2, and waste to landfill by 2012, a 10 per cent reduction in water consumption by 2012, and 25 per cent reduction in tailpipe emissions by 2015, compared to 2007 levels.
