Imagine if you could get dirty, but stay clean. That´s exactly how Land Rover sees its SUV future—a future where a Land Rover´s breadth of abilities is wider than ever, but its impact on the environment is significantly smaller. A future shaped by the most efficient use of innovative technologies, to deliver reductions in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while enhancing Land Rover´s legendary capabilities. A commitment to changing things for the better, while remaining faithful to the unique essence of Land Rover.
That´s what the LAND_e and its environmentally conscious, efficiency-focused e-Terrain technologies target and target in the near future. Because what LAND_e offers isn´t a science fiction dream, it´s an attainable reality, built on viable, relevant technologies and will start to be seen on Land Rovers progressively over the next few years. The promise is a reduction in CO2 emissions in a Land Rover with even more capability than ever. And the reality starts here.
*Land_e is a Technical Exhibit, not a production vehicle. The technologies are capable of being utilized with a variety of powertrains and body styles and are not tied to a particular platform architecture.
Land_e at New York is based around a gasoline engine with a power-shift transmission and bio-fuel compatibility, specifically the capability of running on Bio-ethanol blends of up to E85. The e_Terrain technologies themselves would provide fuel consumption improvements up to 'a third' in real world conditions AND improved pull away/step-off performance. We recognize the importance of bio-fuels and their ability to reduce harmful tailpipe emissions (and their role as a sustainable fuel source in the future).
