As emission norms tighten worldwide, Tata-owned JLR intends to invest £2.5 bn a year. The brand will look to drive its electrification plans, develop connected services and data-centric technologies. The iconic brand will look forward to having a fully electric product lineup in the not-so-distant future.

The company will look for earnings before interest and taxes (Ebit)—and achieve positive cash flow in four years.
JLR EV market
All over the globe car manufacturers are in a race to adopt the business as emission norms get tighter. Jaguar the maker of iconic sports cars might very well go fully electric by 2025. Land Rover intends to come up with 6 new electric SUVs by 2025. Tata Motors is clinging to the ideology of becoming a net-zero carbon business by 2039.
It is estimated that by 2030, 60% of Land Rover’s sales will be from its electric vehicles. JLR also has a forecast that it will cease production of its Internal Combustion Engines by 2036. This is done to meet the company’s plan of becoming a ‘net zero carbon businesses by 2039’.
Jaguar will come with a new identity, that of being a pure electric luxury brand. The EV’s will adhere to the latest technologies and emotive designs. Land Rover will follow suit and will also turn out to become a pure electric company. Both car manufacturers are a little unclear of how the new phase of modern transport unravels ahead.
JLR offers a few fully electric vehicles, but the idea is to leapfrog its rivals like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. The German trio is already on the course of developing green cars. JLR will also plan on developing its infrastructure for Hydrogen fuel celled vehicles. In the Hydrogen fuel celled spectrum Hyundai and Toyota Motor Corp. have invested heavily in this future technology.
