  • New technology hubs are part of strategic partnership with NVIDIA and adds to Jaguar Land Rover’s growing global footprint

Gaydon, UK, Tuesday 21st February 2023: Jaguar Land Rover is expanding its global digital capability by opening three new tech hubs in Europe, creating nearly 100 new engineering jobs.

The hubs are set up to develop autonomous driving systems for JLR’s next generation of modern luxury vehicles, and come in addition to the six existing global tech hubs JLR has invested in. 

The new hubs are situated in Munich Germany, Bologna Italy, and Madrid Spain, with the locations chosen because of the availability of digital engineering skills in the area.

Munich is one of Europe’s top‑ranking technology hubs*, while the sites in Spain and Italy have also been identified as significant and growing tech hub locations in Europe**.  

The new hubs’ inception comes in addition to existing JLR tech hubs in Portland USA, Budapest Hungary, Shannon Ireland, Shanghai China, Bengaluru India and Manchester in the UK. Collectively these hubs employ over 1100 engineers, forming part of JLR’s nearly 9000 strong global engineering force.

Together Jaguar Land Rover’s nine global engineering hubs will provide services and feed data into the Advanced Product Creation Centre in Gaydon, UK, to create Jaguar Land Rover’s next generation vehicles that epitomise modern luxury and deliver a fully connected experience for customer.

Thomas Müller, Product Engineering Director at Jaguar Land Rover, said; "We are harnessing talent in autonomous technologies around the world to develop new autonomous technologies for our future products which will deliver a truly modern luxury experience for our clients

“Software is essential for us to deliver a fully connected experience for our clients and creating global engineering hubs will enable seamless hybrid working across several locations and ensure we harness the best talent for our business.”

The creation of the three new tech hubs marks the progression of Jaguar Land Rover’s multi‑year partnership with NVIDIA, the leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and computing. Under the partnership, JLR engineers are working to develop and deliver next‑generation automated driving systems, digital services, and experiences for clients.

Teams based at the new tech hubs have expertise spanning areas of autonomous technology including systems & features, software, verification & validation and hardware.

Note aux éditeurs

La stratégie Reimagine de Jaguar Land Rover prodigue la vision durable et riche d’un luxe sciemment modern.

Nous transformons notre entreprise pour qu’elle atteigne la neutralité carbone dans l’ensemble de nos approvisionnements, de nos produits et de nos activités d’ici 2039. Nous avons une feuille de route vers la réduction de nos émissions dans l’ensemble de nos opérations et de nos chaînes de valeur d’ici 2030 grâce à des cibles scientifiquement approuvées. L’électrification est au cœur de cette stratégie et d’ici la fin de la décennie, nos gammes Range Rover, Discovery, Defender disposeront chacune d’un modèle purement électrique, tandis que le catalogue Jaguar sera entièrement électrique. 

Nous sommes une compagnie profondément enracinée au Royaume‑Uni, où se trouvent nos deux sites majeurs de design et d’études, trois de nos usines de fabrication, une usine de moteurs et un centre d’assemblage de batteries. Nous disposons aussi d’usines en Chine, au Brésil, en Inde, en Autriche et en Slovaquie ainsi que de sept centres technologiques autour du monde.

Jaguar Land Rover est une filiale à part entière de Tata Motors Limited, qui fait partie de Tata Sons.
