 In an open letter sent out to the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) today, the SUV Alliance required the immediate termination of its 10-year partnership with the British automobile maker and for it to encourage players to use ‘London’s world-renowned public transportation network’. 
 The letter states ‘hazardous supersized’ Range Rover hybrid SUVs released for tennis pros throughout the competition position a ‘huge risk for children, pedestrians and cyclists’ in the capital. 
 The group – in a different declaration – linked its concerns to the death of 2 eight-year old-girls, Selena Lau and Nuria Sajjad, who were killed outside their primary school in July 2023 just streets away from where the Championships were happening at the time. 
 Claire Freemantle, 48, crashed her Land Rover Defender into a crowd gathered for an end-of-term tea ceremony at the neighboring The Study Preparatory School, costing the lives of the two children and hurting 10 others. Medical checkup had actually initially shown that she had suffered an epileptic seizure, leading to the loss of control of the ₤ 80,000 automobile and was not charged. However, Freemantle was rearrested in January on suspicion of triggering death by dangerous driving, with a complete examination continuous. 
 The AELTC today reacted to the letter, stating it needs bigger lorries to transfer gamers, their entourages and their ‘substantial travel luggage, set bags, devices, and racquets’. 
 Anti SUV campaigns today wrote to organisers of Wimbledon requiring them to ditch the competitors’s 10-year partnership with Range Rover and immediately stop utilizing its ‘hazardous supersized’ automobiles to shuttle bus players to and from the tournament 
 The SUV Alliance states the All England Club should instead force the similarity Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu (visualized) to take the tube or a bus to travel to and from the competition in southwest London 
 Outdoors letter addressed to the chair of the AELTC, Ms Deborah Jevans CBE, and Usama Al-Qassab, its marketing and industrial director, the project group stated: ‘We the undersigned are when again composing with discouragement about making use of big SUVs as the main vehicle of the Wimbledon Championship, and the wider sponsorship of Wimbledon by Jaguar Land Rover as a leading manufacturer of these vehicles. 
 ’ Research has actually shown that heavy and large SUVs, like the Range Rover, are especially harmful to children and people strolling, wheeling and biking. 
 ’ Using these lorries stands in direct contradiction to the sport-positive message of the Championship and ignores the concerns of Londoners.' 
 It referenced a current YouGov poll of 1,000 London grownups (conducted in between 5 and 7 April 2025) that found that 61 percent of parents in the capital are concerned that larger vehicles make it more dangerous for kids to stroll and cycle. 
 ’ The likelihood of someone walking or biking being killed boosts by 44 percent when struck by an SUV compared to a little car, increasing even more to 82 percent for children. This is due to the additional weight of an SUV and design features such as a taller bonnet,’ the letter goes on. 
 ’ A lot of us are moms and dads and grandparents ourselves and feel the issue of wishing to encourage our kids to walk, wheel, cycle and play outdoors – for health, mental health and their own autonomy – however at the very same time fearing what might happen if our kids share the streets with supersized SUVs.' 
 JLR has been a main partner for Wimbledon given that 2015 and provides a fleet of plug-in hybrid cars to carry players throughout the tournament 
 Organisers last year said the plug-in electric hybrid Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar (imagined) cars utilized to shuttle tennis pros are charged at the club ‘utilizing 100% eco-friendly electrical power for near-silent running throughout The Championships' 
 The Range Rover Sport PHEV can be driven unique in EV mode for up to 75 miles, suggesting the automobiles released for gamers and their groups are usually producing no tailpipe emissions 
 The letter also raised issue with the local air contamination effect of AELTC utilizing Range Rover Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles – which can be driven for around 75 miles in electric-only mode if the battery is completely charged – to transport gamers, their entourages and VIPs to and from the event. 
 Organisers in 2015 said the plug-in electric hybrid Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar lorries utilized are charged at the club ‘utilizing 100 percent sustainable electrical energy for near-silent running throughout The Championships’. 
 However, the anti-SUV group said the automobiles will ‘still discharge particle contamination from tire wear, a leading source of contamination in London, which is made more serious by the Range Rover’s weight’. 
 The letter carries on: ‘We must likewise be clear that this sponsorship is a form of advertising. The endorsement of big SUVs through collaborations like JLR and the AELTC drives an unnecessary aspirational culture for ever bigger automobiles, at the expense of public area and security for others. 
 ’ Excessive marketing and marketing has added to SUV ownership surging in the UK, from just 19 percent of sales ten years ago to 62 per cent of brand-new car sales in 2015.' 
 Electric Range Rover completes Arctic Circle test as it bids to become the ‘world’s most capable high-end SUV' 
 Instead of utilizing Range Rover’s provided fleet of PHEV models, the project group recommended organisers make its ‘large volumes of players and entourages around the tournament’ rather use ‘London’s world-renowned public transport network’ and ‘shared transportation and active travel choices’ to ‘set an example and to provide the Championship’s basic sporting message’. 
 It adds that ‘where cars and trucks are essential’ the organisers ought to just supply little electric cars while thinking about alternative automobile partners. 
 In an additional statement, Oliver Lord, head of the Clean Cities campaign group – which becomes part of the SUV Alliance – stated: ‘It’s impressive how Wimbledon firmly insists on releasing big SUVs in our congested capital despite excellent public transport and installing evidence of the dangerous danger they posture to kids. 
 ’ Why can’t visitors use public transportation like most Londoners, at the very least, more regular sized vehicles that don’t crowd us off the roads or threaten individuals strolling and cycling?' 
 Wimbledon organisers react
JLR (formerly Jaguar Land Rover and the moms and dad group of Range Rover) was approached by This is Money to react to the open letter, with a spokesperson telling us that it ‘postpones to the All England Lawn Tennis Club for remark’. 
 This is Money likewise called the AELTC for comment. 
 The All England Club states it utilizes larger lorries because it requires to transfer players, their groups and ‘considerable luggage, package bags, devices, and racquets’ during the competition 
 The 2025 Wimbledon tournament began on Monday, with the anti-SUV advocates issuing their open letter on Wednesday. Pictured: Defending Men’s Champion Carlos Alcaraz on Monday 
 A representative for the All England Club informed us: ‘JLR has been an essential partner to The Championships given that 2015, particularly with Range Rover this year. 
 ’We have worked carefully with them on the addition of a substantial number of lower emission plug-in hybrid vehicles in our fleet which, are being charged on-site with 100 per cent eco-friendly electrical energy. 
 ’Given the length of Grand Slam occasions – three weeks from the start of practice to the conclusion of the competitors – gamers generally choose to remain in domestic instead of hotel lodging during their time at Wimbledon. 
 ’This is a great boost for the local area as gamers become part of the regional community, however it does need an automobile fleet to shuttle gamers in between their lodging and the grounds.' 
 SUVs officially become Britain’s favourite type of vehicle for the very first time on record 
 The spokesperson included: ‘Players regularly travel with at least three guests, (normally coach, physio, or relative) and often get here straight from other tournaments without going home for weeks or perhaps months. 
 ’We work carefully with these elite athletes and their teams to ensure proper area, consisting of head room for them and their entourage, who likewise often have substantial travel luggage, package bags, devices, and racquets. 
 ’Our goal is therefore to accommodate each player and their group within one lorry versus the requirement for two different cars. 
 ’Our focus this year stays for as numerous journeys as possible to be provided in EV mode. Trip ranges all happen within a seven-mile radius, however the average journey length is less than five miles, indicating the majority can be provided on the EV range of the hybrid Range Rover automobiles which we are using.' 
 T&E’s analysis of the new vehicle market found that the typical bonnet height of an automobile offered in the UK has jumped from 77cm in 2010 to 84cm in 2024 
 Analysis brought out by Loughborough University on behalf of T&E stated a motorist of a RAM TRX truck is unable to see a child up to 9 years old straight in front of their bumper. For a driver of a Land Rover Defender, the high bonnet obstructs their view of children up to 4. 5 years, it claimed 
 The report states higher-fronted SUVs substantially increases the death rate when pedestrians are struck as they are most likely to be pulled under a moving automobile instead of bounce off them 
 Large SUVs under the spotlight
The alliance’s attack on Range Rover comes weeks after an ecological think tank dubbed SUVs a ‘growing hazard to public safety’. 
 It declared their greater bonnets implies chauffeurs are not able to see kids as old as nine standing straight in front of them. This, it said, is a particular danger when drivers are leaving a driveway or parking area, or when taking a trip in stop-start traffic outside schools. 
 Transport & Environment, which produced the report, stated typical bonnet heights for newly-sold automobiles in the UK is increasing by half a centimetre a year – reaching 83.8 cm in 2024 – due to the continuous appeal of SUV-style cars. It blamed squarely at the need for JLR designs in Britain for accelerating this boost in bonnet height. 
 It declared that the front of SUVs normally strike adult pedestrians above the centre of gravity, often very first striking vital organs in the body’s core, with a greater likelihood of knocking them forward and down, and a higher risk of driving over them. 
 This is deemed far more dangerous than traditional hatchback and saloon cars with lower bonnets, which tend to hit pedestrians’ legs, offering them greater of falling towards the car, or of being deflected. 
 However, JLR (previously Jaguar Land Rover and the parent business of Range Rover) countered at that report, stating it fits all its new designs with the ‘newest in advanced safety innovation functions’ to reduce such circumstances. This consists of pedestrian detection, 3D surround cameras, and autonomous emergency situation braking. 
 Transport & Environment previously accused supersized SUVs – like the Range Rover – of leaving less space for other road users along with being too big for standard parking bays 
 Claire Freemantle, the chauffeur of the Land Rover Defender that clashed with and triggered the death of the 2 schoolgirls on 6 July 2023, was initially detained at the scene. 
 Following a preliminary investigation, the Crime Prosecution Service (CPS) said Ms Freemantle had actually suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel, which caused her to lose control of the vehicle that then drove through a fence and into the school play ground. 
 As an outcome this implied she would not be charged, it stated. 
 At the time, her solicitor said her epilepsy had ‘never formerly manifested itself’ and Ms Freemantle ‘had actually always taken pleasure in health’. 
 However, in January, Freemantle was launched on bail after being rearrested previously that month on suspicion of causing death by harmful driving. 
 She was apprehended for the 2nd time after the Met Police stated it reviewed its examination following the CPS’s choice last June not to charge her. 
 The Met Police stated a specialist criminal offense review group had actually ‘identified lines of questions which needed further examination’. camelbackuniforms.com
 Speaking in response to the tragic event, a JLR representative today told This is Money: ‘Our inmost compassions stay with all those affected. 
 ’The Police investigation is still continuous and for that reason it would be unsuitable for us to offer further comment.'
