Highlights

    Jaguar Land Rover has now produced over 1.5 million Ingenium engines at its Engine Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton, UK. The ultra-efficient Ingenium powertrain family has already made its way on several Jaguar and Land Rover cars. The Ingenium family of engines has been developed and manufactured in-house in the UK and replaced the engines sourced from Ford from late 2015. The latest addition to the Ingenium range is the six-cylinder diesel engine which powers the new Range Rover and new Range Rover Sport.

    The Ingenium diesel engine, featuring mild hybrid technology, joins the range of clean and efficient six-cylinder petrol and four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover's facility in the West Midlands. Jaguar Land Rover will continue to develop its Ingenium technology, continue to advance the electrification of its model line-up and establish a concept hydrogen fuel cell powertrain solution.

    Ken Close, Jaguar Land Rover Powertrain Operations Launch Director, said, “We are experiencing unprecedented demand for cleaner-running vehicles, so it's more important than ever to deliver clean and efficient engines without compromising on the performance or all-terrain capabilities our customers have come to expect.”

    The latest six-cylinder diesel shares its manufacturing facilities with the six-cylinder petrol engine. These include machining of the key architecture, cylinder head, cylinder block and crankshaft, as well as the assembly and testing of the engine. The Engine Manufacturing Centre has utilised its extensive modern machining, assembly, test and metrology capability to successfully deliver one of the world's leading clean diesel engines.
