Jaguar Land Rover’s plan for growth and manufacturing facilities

With production volumes growing strongly for the manufacturer, we look at their future manufacturing strategy

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata of India, is currently one of the fastest growing vehicle companies; it is now in the process of expanding beyond its traditional UK base. It has three vehicle factories and one engine plant in the UK, along with its R&D facilities at Gaydon and Whitely (near Coventry). It has also recently opened its first vehicle plant in China. A plant in Brazil is also now under construction, with the likelihood that further plants, possibly in North America, elsewhere in Europe and/or indeed expansion in the UK, will be announced in the near future. It also operates a CKD facility in India in association with its owner, Tata.
