The company needs more talented young people to join its growing business and develop the technologies and innovations of the future.
Jaguar Land Rover invests more in research and development than any other manufacturing company in the UK, which has allowed its thousands of world-class engineers to develop world-class innovations. It is these breakthroughs that Jaguar Land Rover can rely on to build better-performing vehicles, lower its environmental impact and inspire customers.
Jaguar Land Rover's technological development is led by its world-class designers, engineers and production specialists who ensure that every Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle they create is as innovative as it is desirable. Thanks to the huge investment made across all Jaguar Land Rover facilities in the last decade they have the most advanced tools at their disposal to build cars with cutting-edge technologies.
Dr Wolfgang Epple, Director of Research and Technology at Jaguar Land Rover, said: "The car of the future will become more capable, cleaner, more connected, more desirable and more intelligent. These are the five themes that are leading the research we are undertaking at Jaguar Land Rover today.
"We are showcasing some very exciting new technologies including remote control off-road driving, predictive infrared laser scanning, gesture and voice control activation, smart glass that transforms the connectivity of the interior experience, and semi-autonomous driving, both on- and off-road. While some have real potential and others are just concepts, both Jaguar and Land Rover will continue to set new standards and continue to grow by bringing these new technologies and innovations to our customers."
Virtual engineering – including 3D design rooms and printers – has cut down both the time and expense involved in making new vehicles. The clever use of aluminium has also led to the development of lighter, more eco-friendly cars, while test facilities, such as those provided by the Product Compliance Centre at Solihull, ensure that the range meets and exceeds the required legislative standards from around the world.
Technology is also enhancing the appeal to buyers and not simply by making the cars more desirable. Now, with Jaguar Land Rover's dealership Virtual Customer Experience, it is possible to spec a vehicle and have it projected onto a screen at full size, then view it from every angle and interact with it, almost as if it had been delivered to the showroom.
Jaguar Land Rover continues to invest in new technologies, architectures and vehicles to drive future growth.
