Production of the new Defender has just started at the Jaguar Land Rover factory in Nitra
Jaguar Land Rover’s €1.4 billion (US$1.55bn) factory in Nitra opened in October 2018. It has an annual output of 150,000 units, and is currently home to production of the Discovery as well as the new Defender. It is also the first plant in Europe to use Kuka’s Pulse carrier system, which has 30% faster transfer times than conventional conveyance systems.
Jaguar Land Rover will end production of its I-Pace and E-Pace SUVs at Magna Steyr in Austria, pivoting towards a premium all-electric future starting in 2025.
JLR says 95% of its global retail partner technician workforce is now EV trained, with further training underway for 11,000 manufacturing colleagues to build BEVs.
JLR is greening its operations and driving towards energy independence through ambitious solar power expansion initiatives in the UK and abroad
