Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has selected rolled aluminium producer, Novelis, as its sole supplier of automotive aluminium sheet products in a multi-year agreement.
As part of the company’s sustainable growth strategy, JLR has chosen Novelis to recover all aluminium scrap and create a tight recycling system. The recycled aluminium will be used in the all new Range Rover – the world’s first Sports Utility Vehicle with a lightweight all aluminium body structure.
Roland Harings, vice president, global automotive, Novelis said: “Novelis’ ability to deliver a secure supply of aluminium sheet will enable Jaguar Land Rover to meet the growing demand from its customers worldwide for lighter vehicles and improved fuel economy. This close partnership reflects the aligned growth paths of both companies in reaching our respective sustainability goals, due to our collaboration on a proven closed-loop aluminium recycling system.”
Following an increase in global customer demand for automotive aluminium sheet, both companies have been working toward developing lightweight aluminium technologies for the automotive industry.
Prior to the agreement, Novelis already supplied rolled aluminium to JLR for a range of the company’s models including Range Rover, Jaguar XJ and Discovery 4.
