As the Jaguar XE celebrates its first full-year of sales, ‘Realcar', the pioneering recycled aluminium project that contributes to the awarding winning saloon's aluminium-intensive body has reached a significant milestone.
Jaguar Land Rover has reclaimed over 50,000 tonne of aluminium scrap, the weight of 200,000 XE body shells, back into the production process during 2015-16, preventing more than 500,000 tonne of CO2 equivalent from entering the atmosphere by not using primary aluminium material.
This project involves 11 UK press shops implementing a closed-loop, segregating waste aluminium scrap so that it can be sent back into production to be re-melted into recycled aluminium sheet for use in Jaguar Land Rover vehicles.
