Jaguar commits to green
Midlands luxury car maker Jaguar is continuing its ‘green’ revolution by introducing the world’s first production battery electric vehicle race series. The Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy will start in late 2018 and
will gives racers of the future a chance to showcase their talents in zero-emissions motorsport. The groundbreaking championship will support the
launch of the Jaguar I-Pace – Jaguar’s highly innovative five-seat battery electric sports car which will make its debut at the same time. Up to 20 electric I-Pace race cars will be on the grid
in the centre of 10 races in global cities including Hong Kong, Paris, Sao Paolo and New York. The announcement follows news that the British
Government is to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2040 and reinforces Jaguar Land Rover’s commitment to electrification – from 2020 all new model lines will be electrified, with either hybrid or battery technology. Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO)
in Warwickshire, UK, will build the race cars. Gerd Mäuser, chairman, Jaguar Racing, said: “Jaguar
returned to racing in 2016 with the mission ‘Race to Innovate’. With the launch of the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy we have strengthened our commitment to battery electric vehicles, international motorsport and Formula E. “We’ve always said we want to prove our electrification technologies on the track – this is the proof.”
and experienced advisors look carefully at an individual’s circumstances to offer them the support they need to get back on their feet. This can involve assisting
with debt/insolvency issues and unpaid bills, to welfare benefits and everyday budgeting; to carrying out a benefit check-up or sourcing hardship payments for those most in need. Gary Hardy, director of
housing operations at Midland Heart, said: “Last year our team received 1,788 referrals and this number continues to rise as we support tenants to deal with the impact of welfare reforms.”
