TOMORROW’S WORLD, TODAY From 2012’s Jaguar XJ_e plug-in hybrid prototypes to the 2015 Evoque_e project – which is looking at future technologies that could have production potential from 2020 – Jaguar Land Rover’s engineers have already amassed a wealth of knowledge into Lithium-ion cell design and chemistries, electric motor design and state-of-the-art battery and thermal management systems. This learning – which will be accelerated by Jaguar’s entry into the FIA Formula E Championship – will see a zero-emission, battery electric powertrain join Jaguar Land Rover’s world-class family of ultra-clean Ingenium petrol and diesel engines when the production version of the I-PACE Concept hits the road in 2018. REVOLUTIONARY RESEARCH The Jaguar I-PACE Concept – Jaguar Land Rover’s first electric vehicle – is designed and developed from a clean sheet, but incorporates all of the learning gained from intensive electrification Research and Development projects Jaguar Land Rover is committed to an electric future, starting with entry into the exciting world of the FIA Formula E Championship The investment in the Formula E racing programme provides a real-world performance testbed for EV technology in a high performance environment. The series takes place on street circuits in the world’s biggest cities – including Hong Kong, Paris and New York. Both the chassis and battery system are standardised, allowing the teams to compete with their own bespoke motor, inverter and gearbox. This programme will accelerate the development of Jaguar’s electric powertrains in several areas, including thermal management, battery efficiency and transmissions. Technology transfer in Formula E is significantly quicker than in other racing series. For instance, both the I-PACE Concept and the I-TYPE Formula E car use permanent magnet electric motors and pouch battery cell technology. By providing greater insight into electric technologies, the development work on both cars will be directly helping Jaguar Land Rover engineers make better electric vehicles. 06 07
