Jaguar Land Rover to double size of its Engine Manufacturing Centre
Jaguar Land Rover today announced that it is to double the size of its Engine Manufacturing Centre (EMC) as part of a 450mn expansion programme. This latest news from the UK's leading manufacturing investor is a clear signal of the company's long-term commitment to Britain. Total investment in the site, which opened a year ago, now stands at 1bn making it the most significant new automotive manufacturing facility to be built in the UK in the last decade.The EMC is home to the high technology, low emission Ingenium engine - Jaguar Land Rover's first venture into in-house engine manufacturing in a generation. In just twelve months, the Midland based facility has moved from prototype production to full-scale manufacture with more than 50,000 engines coming off the production line.
This latest phase in the development of the EMC will see the site increase its operational footprint to 200,000 square meters, supporting capacity uplift as the company continues on its product offensive to deliver more exciting new products to customers.
