WE REVEAL PRODUCTION SECRETS OF THE ALL-NEW ELECTRIC RANGE ROVER FACTORY AT HALEWOOD

THE Halewood factory has churned out nine million cars: some fabulous (the Mk1 Ford Escort), some derided (the Jaguar X-Type), some both (the Ford Capri). But none of them powered solely by electricity.
All that will change in 2026, when an all-new midsize Range Rover starts rolling out of a brand-new body facility. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is overhauling its Liverpool production hub with a £500million staggered investment, and Auto Express has ventured inside for a sneak preview.

Assembling today's petrol/hybrid Velar will continue at the Solihull plant, embodying JLR's "parallel production" philosophy as it overhauls its vast industrial footprint. So the EMA's e-motors will be made alongside Ingenium petrol engines in Wolverhampton, and Solihull will also make flagship Range Rover EVs and hybrids, while Halewood merges its smaller EV with venerable 4x4s.
