Jaguar States It Will Produce Only Electric Cars by 2025 to Reduce CO2 Emissions

The British automaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) says its luxury brand Jaguar will be comprised solely of electric cars by 2025 to reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

Jaguar’s Ambitious Plans and CO2 Emission Reduction

Jaguar’s plans are ambitious, but the automaker has been slow to embrace the electric car model. The only completely electric car so far is the Jaguar I-Pace SUV, which Bloomberg reports has struggled to make inroads against more established electric car manufacturers. Nonetheless, the car is built by a contractor rather than produced in-house by JLR. The company had to pay a £35 million (about US$48.7 million) fine in the EU for failing to meet CO2 emission targets last year.

Company Shares Rose by 3% Following Electric Car Announcement

Jaguar states that its electric plans for Jaguar would be centralized at the Solihull factory, but it abandoned plans to build the XJ, the brand’s flagship car, at its Castle Bromwich facility in central England.

Bolloré, who took over as CEO in September, said the Castle Bromwich factory would focus on “non-production” activities in the long term. He provided few details.

Jaguar has stated it will spend around £2.5 billion (US$3.5 billion) annually on electrification technologies and the development of connected vehicle services focusing on CO2 reduction.

Architectures and Engines: Three Platforms, Electric Focus

To support the electric transition, Jaguar will use three architectures: two dedicated to Land Rover and a new pure BEV platform that will be exclusive to Jaguar, with details to follow in later data.

Future Land Rover models will be built on the Modular Longitudinal Architecture, allowing for combustion engines and EV models, and the “electric-polarized” Electric Modular Architecture (EMA), which can also “support advanced electrified combustion engines.”

The company claims that the shift to three platforms and the consolidation of the number of platforms and models produced per factory will help the company “establish new benchmarks in efficient scale and quality for the luxury sector.”
