It will mean the end to the XJ luxury car in its fuel-burning form, which has been made since 1968.

Jaguar Land Rover will announce later today an investment worth hundreds of millions of pounds in electric vehicle-making.A six-week shutdown will be needed, but the move is expected to secure hundreds of jobs at the Birmingham site.

The news follows January's announcement, where the firm said it would cut 4,500 jobs, with the majority coming from the UK.Today's decision will understandably be seized upon by those who have been sceptical about the dire Brexit warnings emanating from some of the UK's biggest manufacturers. But company insiders say their decisions are driven by product cycles and their heavy historical reliance on diesel meant they had to act with urgency - and although they do have assembly plants in other countries, their top engineers and managers are based here in the UK.

'Today's news is a huge boost for the UK motor industry and reaffirms Britain's potential to become a global leader in zero emission technologies.' mikehawessmmt

BTW - JLR is not a 'British' Company, it is Indian! Get your facts right, please. However, I have no doubt that the prospect of future jobs will come as good news to some.

Come on Jaguar. Take that giant leap. Until a manufacturer takes the step to replaceable batteries (common to all cars a la petrol/diesel), then the idea is limited. Either that or a contactless charge infrastructure. Big change calls for big ideas 💡

💭 the words Jaguar Land Rover in the same sentence without gaps never seems right, I could never see a Jaguar in the same light as a Range Rover

Hopefully this will filter down into the less expensive cars and make electric cars affordable for all.

Oh no I thought it was impossible to have good news with Brexit cliff edge doomsday

Can't wait to test drive an electric Land Rover :)

You’d probably be in the market for their cars if you house/garage is big enough to accommodate the necessary electric point. But for those in flats/terraces etc, and the curb to park in .. no chance!

Solo creo que los precios a publico debieran ser alcanzables y no estratosféricos.

Where’s the coverage of the EU/Iran trade deal.. the EU can sell its goods to Iran and Iran can produce as much Uranium as it likes 👍

Any manufacturer would be mad not to
