Rangey engines to be made in Wolverhampton
The midlands has always been looked upon as the car making heartland of the UK, and now it looks like the town of Wolverhampton is going to be the latest beneficiary of some automotive investment.
Jaguar Land Rover recently announced that a £355m plan to build low-emission car engines in the area which could potentially create up to 750 jobs.
A new breed of Range Rover engines will be created at the new plant so it will be interesting to see what is churned out after such a high-level of investment.
Dr Ralf Speth, chief executive of Jaguar Land Rover said: “We expect the engine manufacturing facility to create up to 750 highly skilled engineering and manufacturing posts at Jaguar Land Rover, along with hundreds more highly skilled manufacturing jobs in the supply chain and the wider UK economy.”
Range Rover engines, along with other Land Rover and Jaguar brands’ power units are amongst the best in the world when it comes to reliability and performance, so it’s fantastic news that there will be such a focus and investment in creating the next generation – not to mention the potential employment it will create for the area.
“There is a lot of investment taking place particularly in the car industry and the supply chain.” Cable said. He added that Britain’s manufacturing base should not “put all its eggs” in green technology, but acknowledged the role that environmentally conscious investment could play in the sector’s renaissance.
