ZF said to be working very closely with JLR's own engineers on these projects, and will likely benefit from the automaker's future projects, including those benefiting from this new design direction.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has signed a deal with ZF Lemforder on the supply of components for its next generation of vehicles, reports the Birmingham Post.
