		</div><p>Jaguar Land Rover is to build a range of electric cars in the UK, safeguarding thousands of jobs and delivering a huge boost to the industry after a series of setbacks in recent months.</p>
<p>Investment will be made at the firm’s factory in Castle Bromwich, West Midlands, with other sites and supply companies benefitting from the development.</p>
<p>An all-electric version of the Jaguar XJ sedan replacement will be the first new battery-powered vehicle, followed by others.</p>
<p>The Castle Bromwich plant will close for six weeks so new equipment can be installed.</p>
<p>The investment follows an agreement for employees to work a four-day week as part of restructuring plans.</p>
<p>The plant, near the M6 in Birmingham, employs around 2,500 workers.</p>
<p>Batteries for the new electric XJ will be made in Hams Hall, Warwickshire, while the electric motors will be manufactured at JLR’s engine plant near Wolverhampton.</p>
<p>Dr Ralph Speth, chief executive of JLR, said: <em>“The future of mobility is electric and as a visionary British company, we are committed to making our next generation of zero-emission vehicles in the UK.”</em></p>
<p>The Government and union leaders welcomed the news as a “fantastic boost” to the car industry.</p>
