The investment will enable JLR's Merseyside factory to produce hybrid and electric vehicles, advancing the company's electrification strategy.
- JLR has already invested £250m in the Halewood plant and plans to invest an additional £250m over the coming years.
- The Halewood facility will be JLR's first all-electric production site, focusing on medium-sized SUVs like the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque.
- The investment is part of JLR's broader £18bn strategy to electrify its entire lineup by 2030 and achieve carbon net zero by 2039.
- New technologies at the plant include 750 autonomous robots, cloud-based management systems, and energy efficiency measures to reduce CO2 emissions.
- The investment comes amid global pressures on automakers to accelerate electrification and follows a period of strong financial performance for JLR.
