JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITED
Abstract
Jaguar Land Rover is leading a consortium of UK technology companies and universities to develop world-
beating new lightweight vehicle technology. New materials and manufacturing technologies will be designed
to reduce pollution with no compromise on premium vehicle performance and Jaguar Land Rover plan to
integrate the technology and deploy it on future generations of exciting new cars and SUVs.
Each innovation alone does not deliver sufficient improvement to justify the high cost of investment and
innovation to such high technical standards but, collectively, with backing from Jaguar Land Rover, project
partners and with Government support, there is a package of innovation that can beat the best other
countries have to offer. The technology is expected to draw inward investment into the UK, develop new
components with a minimum 10-year expected manufacturing life span, embed new skills into the UK's
supply chain, and create and protect UK jobs in engineering and manufacturing
