British car maker Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Tata Motors Ltd.
(500570.BY), said Friday that it plans to manufacture a range of
new electrified vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in
England.
The first new electric car to be produced at the factory will be
the Jaguar XJ, the brand's flagship luxury saloon, the company
said.
JLR said its plans safeguard "several thousand jobs" in the U.K.
and align with its electrification strategy. The company intends to
offer customers electrified options for all new Jaguar and Land
Rover models from 2020. This will provide customers a greater
choice of vehicles, although increased consumer take-up remains a
challenge, JLR said.
The company said that later this month, it will start work on
the installation of facilities and technologies to support its new
manufacturing platform, which enables the production of both diesel
and petrol vehicles alongside full-electric and hybrid models.
