It follows JLR reducing output<\/a> at its Halewood and Solihull plants in November due to ongoing problems obtaining enough computer chips for new vehicles.<\/p>\n

JLR Chief Executive Adrian Mardell said: “I am proud to announce we are accelerating our electrification path, making one of our UK plants and our next-generation medium-size luxury SUV architecture fully electric. <\/p>\n

“This investment enables us to deliver our modern luxury electric future, developing new skills, and reaffirming our commitment to be net zero carbon by 2039.”<\/p>\n

Knowsley Council said it was “delighted” that 3,700 people who work at Halewood would be “spearheading” the move into all-electric production with the site “at the very heart of the company’s future plans”. <\/p>\n

“It is fantastic, not only for the thousands of local people currently employed by JLR in Halewood, but it also means countless opportunities for the workforce of the future, too,” it added. <\/p>\n

The firm also announced its new Jaguar models would be assembled at the company\u2019s plant in Solihull with its existing engine manufacturing centre in Wolverhampton transformed into a hub for building electric motors.<\/p>\n

It said it would be renamed the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre and produce electric drive units and battery packs for JLR\u2019s next generation vehicles. <\/p>\n

JLR added that its Castle Bromwich plant would provide body work for next generation electric vehicles while the firm continues to explore options for other parts of the site. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
