JLR invests 370 million Pounds to upgrade UK facilities for New Range Rover

Tata Motor’s luxury arm, Jaguar Land Rover has invested 370 million Pounds to upgrade its UK manufacturing facilities, along with improving the productivity. The fresh investment has been made just as the company is preparing to launch its all-new 2013 Range Rover in 170 countries.

As part of the package, Jaguar Land Rover has installed a new aluminium body shop for the latest Range Rover at the company’s Solihull plant, near Birmingham. Also there are upgrades to paint-applications technologies, trim assembly, warehousing and Jaguar Land Rover’s first customer handover centre.

Inaugural sales of the fourth-generation 2013 Range Rover are to begin this month following a three-year engineering project, supporting 1,000 jobs in design, product development and manufacturing. Deliveries of the new model are expected to begin by early 2013.
