Autotrader's 1 out of 5 green rating for Land Rover 😅
"Jaguar Land Rover really need to electrify but batteries mean yet more weight and inefficiency, so for now we're left with a choice of big petrol or diesel engines in a big car while we wait for electrified Jaguar and electric Range Rover. There's a lot of "planning to" and "aiming to" in their sustainability report. One recent success is a newly extended rooftop solar at their Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton which will generate almost 40 per cent of the site's energy needs. Meanwhile, their global renewable energy usage remains at a low seven per cent and the level of recycled content is just eight per cent based on reported data. Earlier this year they completed scaled trials with Novelis using a new aluminium skin alloy that's up to 85 per cent recycled and up to 95 per cent more energy efficient to produce, for car doors."

Just migrated a client site from WordPress to Grav CMS - getgrav.org - and while it was a learning curve, it's a much better fit for their small, rarely updated site. Pageload is faster and no more WP updates required!
