Description: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is currently the aluminum content leader in the automotive industry, and aims to continue to be the leader in coming years. This article looks at how the company approaches material selection for their vehicles by looking at the whole carbon footprint, with coming out on top aluminum as the best method for lightweighting. The article also looks at the company's plans to be the first to enter the market for mid-sized sedans and low cost, high volume cars. The first step in this goal is the new C-X17 sports crossover concept car, which introduces the company’s next generation aluminum monocoque architecture (named iQ[Al]) and will be the basis of a new range of Jaguar cars.
