The electric shift forms a key plank of the carmaker's plan to become a net zero carbon business by 2039Jaguar Land Rover has committed to keep all three of its British plants open in the drive for all its models to be fully electric by the end of the decade.
The major shift forms a key plank of the carmaker's plan to become a net zero carbon business by 2039. The firm, owned by India's Tata Motors, said the Jaguar brand will lead the way with a complete electric vehicle range by 2025.Land Rover's first electric vehicle is due to arrive by 2024 and will form the initial step into a six-strong model line-up.
Known for its iconic, high-performance E-Type model in the 1960s and 1970s, Jaguar faces the challenge of many other manufacturers in developing zero-emission models to get ahead of looming bans on sales of new fossil-fuel vehicles, while retaining the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model.JLR said that as it electrifies its model range, it will keep all three of its UK sites open.
However, Thierry Bollore, who took over as chief executive in September, said the company's Castle Bromwich plant Birmingham would focus on"non-production" activities in the long term, but provided no further details.
Well that's a bold decision with some aggressive time scales. 😲 interesting. If manufacturers are being bold now perhaps they can boldy make small cars that are actually small and not absolutely massive.
JLR and the fearmongering media tried to scare the British electorate into voting Remain, stating Brexit would have a negative and damaging impact on business. Now look at it. Look how management have changed their tune. reformparty_uk
