Car giant Jaguar Land Rover announces a multi-million pounds investment which could bring hundreds of jobs to the employment-starved Midlands.
The company will build low-emission engines in the UK, creating up to 750 jobs. The new facility will be based at a business park near Wolverhampton in the Midlands, with work due to start early next year.
"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," said Dr Ralf Speth, chief executive of Jaguar Land Rover.
"This is truly exciting news and is a major commitment for our company.
"As we invest £1.5bn a year for the next five years in new product developments, expanding our engine range will help us realise the full global potential of both our Jaguar and Land Rover brands."
