The brand launched a concept car of the same name in April 2022, focusing on large space and flexibility, with a long wheelbase and rotatable front seats, and said that charging in 30 minutes can replenish 310 miles (about 498.9 kilometers ) battery life.

It is understood that the EMA architecture will be used in the next-generation Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Discovery Sport. The structure will deliver 800V and is expected to have a peak power of 350kW. Batteries for the platform will be supplied from Tata’s new factory in Bridgewater, Somerset, which is scheduled to start production in 2026.

Mader said the deal was unrelated to the Somerset site and would not affect any of the company’s other production sites in the UK or continental Europe. The Avinya car is not expected to be sold in Europe.

According to Jaguar Land Rover’s third-quarter financials, the deal between it and TMEP is a memorandum of understanding and the royalties have not yet been determined. The deal will also include Jaguar Land Rover providing engineering services to accelerate the pace of Avinya’s development. The new brand’s product line has been confirmed to consist of a “range” rather than a single model, with a launch planned for 2025.

Tata Projects (a subsidiary of the Tata Group) announced on Saturday that it will work with Micron Technology to build an advanced semiconductor assembly and testing plant in Sanand, Gujarat. According to reports, the first phase of the plant will start soon and is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024.

According to public information, the factory is located in Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation area in Sanandi, Gujarat, covering 93 acres of land, and the total investment will reach 2.75 billion U.S. dollars (Currently, about RMB 20.075 billion), of which Micron invested up to 825 million U.S. dollars (currently about 6.023 billion yuan), and the rest will be provided by the central government of India and the state government.

A Tata statement said, “This enduring project is an important milestone for us and the largest investment under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM).”

The first phase of the plant’s construction will reportedly include a 500,000-square-foot cleanroom space, which is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2024. In addition, the project includes the design and construction of India’s first DRAM and NAND assembly and test facility.

Tata Projects also plans to use modern construction methods and an EPC delivery approach that accelerates construction integration through 4D BIM and hybrid modularization. According to the statement, the Sannadi facility will be designed in accordance with the Green Building Council’s LEED Gold standard and will also incorporate advanced water conservation technologies.

It is understood that the battery factory can supply batteries for at least 500,000 vehicles per year. At the same time, the Tata Group is not just focusing on production but seeks to foster partnerships across the spectrum.

It is worth mentioning that in this “war” to change the battery supply of electric vehicles in Europe, companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis and Nissan have all moved in this direction, and most of the choices are with established battery producers. Collaborate to enhance the battery ecosystem in Europe.

Tata is said to have been scouting sites between south-west England and Spain for a factory to supply batteries for electric Jaguar and Land Rover models.

According to the BBC, the government will provide Tata with subsidies worth hundreds of millions of pounds. “JLR’s decision to invest in UK battery production is very welcome. However, we will be thinking about the subsidy package needed to secure this decision,” said Darren Jones, chairman of the parliamentary business committee.

For months, industry speculation has swirled around where Tata, the conglomerate with interests in software, steel, cars and airlines, would build the plant.

The factory will be a milestone for the UK as it tries to catch up with the rest of the world in electric vehicles, and the battery factory is crucial for carmakers that rely on heavy-duty batteries.

However, the UK does not have that much money to spend. Regarding the promise of hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies to green industries under the US “Inflation Cutting Act”, British Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt said that the government does not have a lot of money for similar measures.

Homegrown batteries will also help British carmakers comply with post-Brexit trade rules, it is said. The rules require them to source more electric car components locally from 2024 to avoid tariffs on trade between the UK and the EU.

The government has previously said it was in talks with the EU to relax those rules after auto giant Stellantis warned it would be forced to close factories and lose thousands of jobs if it faced tariffs.

The UK government has proposed a series of net-zero targets to boost economic growth, including banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.

Note: Tata Group is currently the largest group company in India, including 96 companies in 7 departments, operating in more than 40 countries on six continents, and its products are exported to 140 countries, involving aviation, automobiles, FMCG products, chemical substances, national defence and aerospace, power distribution systems, engineering, finance, medical care, information, railway locomotives, real estate, steel, communications and other fields.

According to public information, Tata Group got its name from its founder, Jamshidji Tata, whose family members have almost always served as chairman of the group. The chairman of the group during the transition period is Ratan Tata.
