Land Rover, a British car manufacturer has made its plans to release "greener" sports utility vehicles. Other car manufacturers have made plans to introduce more environmentally friendly models into the market such as Volkswagen, GM, and Subaru.Volkswagen is a German competitor for the British car market and the latest VW models can be seen at a local Volkswagen Dealer. GM is an American automaker with a luxury Buick line that can be found at dealers throughout the world and at a Jersey City Buick Service. Subaru is a Japanese car maker with several dealerships throughout the world such as Salinas Subaru.
Land Rover is owned by Indian based Tata Motors, a multinational corporation with division throughout the world. A spokesperson for Tata said that the company will make efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and increase fuel efficiency with its new vehicle models. The Range Rover Evoque was shown last week in London and it features a lighter weight, two doors, and increased fuel efficiency.
Other steps will be taken with Land Rover's other models. Land Rover has several much larger vehicle models that can use improved fuel technology. Tata Motors has been doing well with its Jaguar Land Rover models that may boost sales up to 50 percent compared to 2009 sales. Luxury vehicles are continuing to be in demand both in Europe and in the United States as the economy rebounds among certain sectors.
A newly revamped diesel engine will be included in the 2011 Range Rover which will increase fuel efficiency. The new engine will have 309 horsepower but also be capable of up to 30.1 miles per gallon which is an 18 percent efficiency increase.
There remains much room for growth for the company as there are currently many other manufacturers that have taken broader leaps in their fuel efficiency technology. But Land Rover will likely continue to compete among those companies that have taken the first steps with its own new developments over the next few years.
