Jaguar Land Rover have come up with their Global Strategy – ‘Reimagine’. All Jaguar and Land Rover nameplates to be available in pure electric form by end of the decade; first all-electric Land Rover model to be available in 2024.
The new global strategy will establish Jaguar as an all electric Luxury brand and Land Rover will welcome six pure electric variants as it continues to be the world leader of luxury SUVs in the next five years.
JLR as a brand targets net zero carbon business by 2039.
Set against a canvas of true sustainability, Jaguar Land Rover will become a more agile creator of the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles and services for the most discerning of customers. A strategy that is designed to create a new benchmark in environmental, societal and community impact for a luxury business.
“Jaguar Land Rover is unique in the global automotive industry. Designers of peerless models, an unrivalled understanding of the future luxury needs of its customers, emotionally rich brand equity, a spirit of Britishness and unrivalled access to leading global players in technology and sustainability within the wider Tata Group.
“We are harnessing those ingredients today to reimagine the business, the two brands and the customer experience of tomorrow. The Reimagine strategy allows us to enhance and celebrate that uniqueness like never before. Together, we can design an even more sustainable and positive impact on the world around us,” said Mr Bolloré.
Jaguar Land Rover’s aim is to achieve net zero carbon emissions across its supply chain, products and operations by 2039. As part of this ambition, the company is also preparing for the expected adoption of clean fuel-cell power in line with a maturing of the hydrogen economy. Development is already underway with prototypes arriving on UK roads within the next 12 months as part of the long-term investment programme.
JLR, owned by Tata Motors will spend around 2.5 billion pounds ($3.5 billion) annually on electrification technologies and the development of connected vehicle services.
The company said it was also investing in developing hydrogen fuel cells in anticipation of a future shift to hydrogen to power vehicles.
Closer Collaboration with Tata Group
In order to realise its vision of modern luxury mobility with confidence, the company will curate closer collaboration and knowledge-sharing with Tata Group companies to enhance sustainability and reduce emissions as well as sharing best practice in next-generation technology, data and software development leadership. Jaguar Land Rover has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, in which Tata Sons is the largest shareholder, since 2008.
“We have so many ingredients from within. It is a unique opportunity,” said Mr Bolloré. “Others have to rely solely on external partnerships and compromise, but we have frictionless access that will allow us to lean forward with confidence and at speed.”
Bringing all these ingredients together, Jaguar Land Rover is on a path towards double-digit EBIT margins and positive cash flow, with an ambition to achieve positive cash net-of-debt by 2025.
Ultimately, Jaguar Land Rover aims to be one of the most profitable luxury manufacturers in the world.
