Range Rover Electric: JLR Launches Its First Fully Electric Luxury ...
- Automotive giant Jaguar Land Rover unveiled the Range Rover Electric on Wednesday, its first fully electric model, manufactured at the production facility in Solihull, West Midlands.
- Supporting this shift, 9,000 employees in Solihull were upskilled for electrification and 1,500 staff trained across the West Midlands, while the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton now produces battery packs.
- Martin Limpert, managing director of Range Rover, called the model the result of a decade of "considered engineering," and vehicle engineering director Becker stated the SUV is designed for "effortless comfort and refinement."
- Restructuring efforts follow a cyber attack that disrupted production last year; the launch occurs as Coventry-based JLR navigates falling profits and a reduction of fewer than 300 roles.
- New product launches should leave JLR in good shape, the firm stated, though acknowledging ongoing geopolitical, inflationary, and regulatory challenges facing the automotive industry.
