[edit]History
In March 2011, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it would be hiring an additional 1,500 staff at its Halewood plant, and signed over 2 billion of supply contracts with UK-based companies, to enable production of its new Range Rover Evoque model.[9][2] In September 2011, the company confirmed that it would be investing 355 million in the construction of a new engine plant at thei54 business park near Wolverhampton, central England, to manufacture a family of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.[10][11]

[edit]Operations

The JLR Whitley plant.

Jaguar Land Rover currently sells vehicles under the Jaguar and Land Rover marques. It also owns the rights to the currently dormant Daimler, Lanchester and, through Land Rover, Rover marques. The latter was acquired by JLR (whilst still under Ford ownership) from BMW in the aftermath of the collapse of MG Rover Group, BMW having retained ownership of the marque when it broke up Rover Group in 2000, and merely licensed it to MG Rover as a condition of the sale of Land Rover to Ford. Jaguar Land Rover operates five principal manufacturing and R&D facilities:

Gaydon (formerly RAF Gaydon, BL Technology, Rover Group and then the Land Roverengineering

site)

Whitley (formerly the Chrysler UK engineering site, then the Jaguar cars engineering site) Solihull (formerly Rover Cars and then Land Rover production site) Castle Bromwich (formerly British Leyland and then Jaguar Cars production site) Halewood (formerly Ford of Britain production site, then Jaguar and now a Land Rover production site)

[edit]Sales
In the year ended 31 March 2011, Jaguar Land Rover sold a total of 240,905 units, of which 189,087 were Land Rovers and 51,818 were Jaguars.[1] In that period 24.1% of sales were in the United Kingdom, 22% in Europe (ex. the United Kingdom and Russia), 20.9% in North America, 12% in China, 4.9% in Russia and 15.9% in the rest of the world.[1]

Jaguar Cars and Land Rover

Main articles: Jaguar Cars and Land Rover After the acquisition of the British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business, which also includes the Daimler, Lanchester and Rover brands,[16] Tata Motors became a major player in the international automobile market. On 27 March 2008, Tata Motors reached an agreement with Ford to purchase their Jaguar Land Rover operations for US$2.3 billion. The sale was completed on 2 June 2008.[12] In addition to the brands, Tata Motors has also gained access to two design centres and two plants in UK.
