Highlights
British Prime Minister David Cameron was the guest of honour at the Jaguar Land Rover's new plant in the West Midlands. The Prime Minister was given a tour of the plant where he saw the on-going installation of the manufacturing equipment first hand.
The state-of-the-art Engine manufacturing centre is the first new facility that the company has built from the ground up. The facility is located between the company's three other manufacturing sites at Halewood, Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company claims to create employment for 1400 people, once the plant reaches to its full capacity.
With an investment of over £500 million, the facility will develop JLR's most advanced engines ever. A new family of premium, lightweight, low-friction, low emission four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines will be manufactured for future Jaguar Land Rover vehicles.
The Prime Minister said, "Whenever I come to one of your plants, it makes my spirits soar when I see such an exciting future for British manufacturing. Everywhere I go in the world I support Jaguar Land Rover. This is a great British success story."
Jaguar Land Rover's Executive Director, Mike Wright commented, "Our world-class new facility incorporates the latest technologies meeting the highest standards of production and demonstrates our continued commitment to UK manufacturing.
We are proud to show Prime Minister David Cameron around our plant today as our team begins to commission the equipment which will be used to manufacture our most advanced engines ever."
Covering almost 1,00,000 square metres of internal floor area, the plant comprises of three manufacturing halls- one for machining the cylinder heads, cylinder blocks and crankshafts, one for assembling diesel engines and one for assembling petrol engines. The first engine will come out of the assembly line in early 2015.
