Jaguar employ a lot of skilled British people in design and manufacturing. It shows in the elegance and quality of their cars. |

Yesterday 6th July 2022 was the date that makes anti-speeding technology and a so-called black box mandatory for all new cars. The controversial features are a requirement in every car introduced after July 6, 2022. https://todaynewspost.com/auto-news/...box-mandatory/ What price an expensive very fast Tesla model S plaid in the years to come if it has to adhere to national speed limits! |
After years of uncertainty about the jobs & the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Halewood it's now safe & is now being converted to build JLR's new EV's in 2024. https://electrek.co/2022/09/21/jagua...tric-vehicles/

It's at Hams Hall (M42 J9) just across the road from BMW's engine plant. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...c7775d4fab.jpg |

Hams Hall was the final concentrated facility for all engines (don't know about transmissions) for the rump of the BL empire. Kev |

Jaguar make all their models in the UK, apart from the E-Pace which is (or was) sub-contracted to Magna in Austria as there isn’t the capacity at Halewood to add the third model to the Discovery Sport and Evoke line (as they are all the same platform). Land Rover do have their own plant in Nitra, Czech Republic where the Defender and Discovery 5 are made, other production facility for the remaining non-Evoke Range Rovers is in Solihull. Mini also make most of their cars in the UK, except they also build in the Netherlands (and all Clubman’s are made here) and Magna again in Austria make the Countryman, both under contract. As above Jaguars are developed in the UK and all engines are made near Telford, I imagine Minis are BMW developed in Germany, but again engines are UK produced at Hams Hall. |
JLR are retraining 29000 of their staff globally over the next three years to work on EV's, It must be a huge disruption to skilled engineers/mechanics who have been working on ICE vehicles for decades. https://todaynewspost.com/auto-news/...-for-ev-world/
