Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is to invest £355m to build low emission engines at a site near Wolverhampton, the firm announced.


捷豹路虎公司宣布,将在伍尔夫汉普顿某地投资3.55亿英镑建造一座低排放发动机工厂。

Jaguar's new C-X16 sports car was unveiled in Frankfurt last week


The luxury carmaker's development was expected to create up to 750 new jobs at the i54 business park near the M54.

The site was confirmed as one of several new enterprise zones in July.

Last year JLR, owned by Indian firm Tata, said it was reversing a decision to close one of its two West Midlands factories.

The group's headquarters is in Gaydon, Warwickshire, with Land Rovers produced in Solihull and Halewood, Merseyside and Jaguar models produced at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham.

The business park is part of a 120-hectare site.

Last week, JLR unveiled three new concept cars at the Frankfurt Motor Show on the back of a period of strong sales fuelled, partly, by a growing number of orders from foreign markets, including China and India.

Speaking earlier on Monday, Bob Nason, the Unite union plant convenor at the Solihull Land Rover plant, said it was "great news".

"It's a far cry from where we were two years ago, worrying times two years ago as well.

"I think it's testament not only to the current workforce in the sacrifices they've made during those two years, but also I think testament to Tata's commitment to fulfilling a promise to create thousands of new jobs here in the UK.

"I think this will just be the start of that process."
