A huge, Land Rover SUV is certainly not a study of any kind of CO2 reduction study at this time. However, Land Rover at least seems to be making a token effort. The company says it is bringing in what it calls an "independent board of governance," to advise the company on how its SUVs can lower their emissions. Among those on the board are former government adviser and diplomat, Sir
Crispin Tickell, the director of the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford, Diana Liverman; the director of the business program at the sustainable development charity, Forum for the Future, Sally Uren; and the government adviser and former director of environment policy at B&Q, Alan Knight. Further appointments will be announced in due course.
Land Rover says its "ultimate goal" is "CO2 neutrality with investments being made in renewable energy projects such as wind and solar, technology change and energy efficiency."
No timeline about when Land Rover will offer "wind and solar" powered SUV models or other similar initiatives was communicated.
