Jaguar Land Rover plans to produce two models on the future Slovak site of Nitra
- The British group Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of the Indian group Tata Motors, has started the construction of its fourth plant in Europe, located this time in Slovakia (Nitra).
- The new plant, which will complement the manufacturing presence of the carmaker in the United Kingdom (490 000 vehicles per year capacity in 2016, 580 000 vehicles in 2017), should be operational in 2018, with an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles per year, which could be doubled in the medium term.
- This plant will be the fourth automotive plant in Slovakia, after those of Bratislava (Volkswagen Group), Trnava (PSA group) and Zilina (Hyundai-Kia Group), enabling the country to exceed for the first time the million vehicles per year capacity (1.15 million). The total of capacities of Czech Republic (1.55 million) and Slovakia (1.15 million) - that once formed Czechoslovakia - will reach in 2018 the automotive capacity of France (2.7 million units).
- The Jaguar Land Rover group has not communicated the list of models that will be manufactured in Nitra from 2018.
But given the fact that these models will be two in number (according to the carmaker) and it would be logical that these models are the entry-level vehicles (low labour cost), Inovev thinks it would be the future Defender land Rover and Jaguar E-Pace planned for this date in the carmaker’s Product Plan.
