However, there are also large défis.Plus rivals such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes are also developing new technologies and it is feared that JLR will simply not be able to invest sufficiently to follow them.

"Even if we are to spend more we are light on fees généraux.Nous are not in a massive disadvantage," says Forster. "" """This isn't volume.Il race is one hunt us and we're hunting person".the ' goal for JLR, he says, is to be the "other" manufacturer of premium.
