All-electric Jaguar XJ created
Prospect of zero-emissions zones in cities prompts electric prototype
An all-electric version of the new Jaguar XJ has been created in reaction to the emergence of zero-carbon zones in cities across the globe.
A senior insider told Autocar that Jaguar Land Rover envisages some of the world’s most important cities gradually introducing zero-emissions and zero-pollution zones. All vehicles unable to run purely on batteries would be banned from the area.
See the Jaguar Limo Green concept
According to the insiders, only a self-charging electric car could have sufficient zero-emissions range to be practical transport in such scenarios. Although some conventional hybrids do have the ability to run purely on battery power, their electric-only range is limited to few miles.
It’s thought that the electric XJ will be powered by a 145kW, 295lb ft electric motor fuelled by a lithium ion battery pack. The batteries will be topped up by a 35kW, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder generator designed by Lotus specifically for self-charging electric vehicles.
This drivetrain is claimed to offer a range of 600 miles, plus combined fuel economy of 57mpg, sub-120g/km of CO2 and a top speed of 112mph.
Jaguar sources also say that the handling and performance of the electric XJ is likely to surprise people “because of the bulk that’s removed from car when you strip out the conventional drivetrain”.
If, as many expect, future Range Rover models are based on the same floor and crash structure as the new X351-series XJ, the same technology could be applied to the company’s SUVs.
Jaguar and Lotus are now developing the technology with financial help from the British government’s Technology Strategy Board.
Lord Drayson, the Minister of Science, told Autocar last year that electric cars would play a “huge part in the future of motoring in this country”

There is only one bus bought on experimental basis.
In fact we are stopping buying Chinese buses now due to bad quality.
"jaguars" are made in England eventhough it's owned by Indian company. Just to shut the Indian up as he brag on a brand that Indians do not manufacture.Indeed bro.
Well i already said Private Chinese brands are doing farrrr more better than their state controlled/owned counterparts who are merely OEM for foreign brands .lool But seems some ultra nationalistic Chinese members on here who still a soviet style communist hangover of tota state control over everything and dont want to accept the fact that private companies are GENERALLY more innovative/efficient than SOE anyday all things being equal/giving a level playing field. As i said before, if the Chinese government insists on continuing protecting/favouring its inefficient/lazy SOE car makers who have made foreign brands totally dominat in Chinese car market, then foriegn brands will dominate your car market forever, as private car markers have less room to grow(not that our companies complain though, as they are the bigest winners of this policy,they need more Chinese officials like Chinese Tiger.lol). LONG LIVE COMMUNISM AND SOE in all sectors.
Indeed bro.

No personal attack dude
You have squadrons of Indian Mega Nationalists of your own on the forum
SOE and Private companies each have their own merits
Big car manufacturers like GM, Ford, Crysler do need their governments handout for survival
Indian car makers have their own massive problems despite non state owned

Indeed bro.

SOE and POE are all indispensable in Chinese economy, I don't think it's even a topic here.SOEs will continue to dominate critical sectors, no matter how much rant you may have spew against them. Without your regime backing, I wonder how much progress BP would have made. Every country, even those die-hard laisses-faire regimes, have run to the rescue of their private companies, using public money. GM and Ford comes to mind. Where does the innovative slogan, too big to fail, come from?
Besides, both your regime and the US regime backed your own companies, especially those related to energy, when they are in their infancy.
Rest assured, government will be be less interventionist once China's companies achieve equal strength and monopolistic power like Lenovo and Huawei. Even then, critical sectors will remain publicly owned, that is, by the people of China.
But, alas, ultra-nationalist mind-readers like yourself won't be deterred and preach others what you yourself do not believe or practice.
