Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a further £500m investment in its Halewood plant on Merseyside to bolster future production of all-electric cars at the site. The country's largest automotive manufacturer, which revealed plans in 2023 to produce the first emission-free model at Halewood in early 2025, is now targeting a timeframe later that year. It signalled a greater ambition for Halewood at a time when global demand for new cars remains constrained.
Barbara Bergmeier, executive director of JLR's industrial operations, said: ''Halewood has been the heart and soul of JLR in the northwest of England for well over two decades, producing vehicles such as the Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport.
