Range Rover launches first fully electric model

Range Rover has unveiled its first fully electric model, after a year‑long delay to its planned launch.

The company said the launch was being supported by new battery and electric drive unit production lines as well as training around 9,000 employees in Solihull for electrification and a further 1,500 trained across the region.

JLR's electric roll-out comes after a turbulent year with profits dropping to £66m in the first quarter after a fire at a key Norwegian supplier.
