Tata’sJaguartogoall-electricbydecadeend
Jaguar and Land Rover nameplates will be available in pure electric form by the end of the decade as the company pushes forward towards electrification across its product portfolio, the Tata Motors arm said on Monday.
The company also plans to achieve positive cash net-of-debt by 2025.
While Land Rover will roll out its all-electric model in 2024 and six pure electric variants of luxury sport utility vehicles in the next five years, Jaguar will be an all-electric luxury brand from 2025 with a new portfolio, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The company aims is to achieve zero carbon emissions across its supply chain, products, and operations by 2039.
The electrification of both Land Rover and Jaguar brands will be on separate architectures, the company said.
Land Rover will use the upcoming Modular Longitudinal Architecture, which will deliver electrified internal combustion engines and full electric variants.
It will also use pure electric based Electric Modular Architecture, which will support advanced electrified gasoline engine. Jaguar models will be built exclusively on a pure electric architecture.
The company's plant in Solihull,
West Midlands, will manufacture Jaguar's pure electric platform. The company said it was also preparing for the expected adoption of hydrogen fuel cell. Development is already underway and prototypes will be in the UK within the next 12 months.
Jaguar Land Rover plans to reorganise its operations to achieve better efficiency, and reduce and rationalise its non-manufacturing infrastructure in the UK.
The executive team and other management functions will move into one location to aid frictionless cooperation, it said.

Asking all Central govt employees to attend office on all working days is a big blunder, given the rising number of Covid-19 cases and deaths. The number of active Covid-19 cases in the country are increasing, particularly in Mumbai and Delhi. The Centre had, in May 2020, asked 50 per cent of its employees to work from office, implementing staggered work hours, in its effort to check the spread of Covid-19. But now, with everyone in attendance at all times, all bets are off. Clearly, this is a very dangerous decision.

GHAZIPUR: Commenting on Priyanka's visit to Bijnor, Rakesh Tikait, National Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), said the farmers can't stop any political leader from joining panchayats in the state.
"If she is going to the panchayat then who are we to stop them, ever yone should hold panchayats. Priyanka is sitting in Delhi, so what can she do here only? She must visit the village," Tikait said.
Asked about farmers refusing political inter vention in the 'mahapanchayats', Tikait said, "We are not conducting mahapanchayats. They (political leaders) must be holding their own panchayats, not our farmers unions." Asked if during the mahapanchayat that is taking place, are there no farmers present, Tikait said,"If someone is attending the mahapanchayats and taking the name of the panchayat, then there is no ban on the word 'panchayat', ever ybody should hold them."
