Jaguar Land Rover has marked a positive milestone having now produced 1.5 million Ingenium engines at its Wolverhampton manufacturing plant, and is now adding a new straight-six diesel engine to join the line-up.

The Ingenium engine was developed and designed in house at Jaguar Land Rover’s £1 billion manufacturing facility in the West Midlands, and the first example of the engine came off the assembly line in 2015. The new six-cylinder diesel engine will be used in the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models, according to Green Car Congress.

The initial Ingenium engine was a four-cylinder diesel, which was shortly joined by a petrol version in 2016. Following that, a straight-six petrol engine was produced to replace the old Ford V6 engines, and a mild-hybrid straight-six diesel engine has now been announced to join the line-up.

The Wolverhampton facility has also been assembling electric drive units for the Jaguar I-Pace and is being adapted to facilitate further electrification and propulsion methods.

Jaguar Land Rover said it will “will continue to develop Ingenium technology, continue to advance the electrification of its model line-up and establish a concept hydrogen fuel cell powertrain solution”.

25 miles away from the Wolverhampton plant, in Hams Hall, Birmingham, the firm has a new battery assembly facility that produces battery packs for pure-electric and plug-in models, providing an established “growing electrification ecosystem”.

Jaguar Land Rover has two design and engineering sites, three-vehicle manufacturing facilities and two powertrain assembly plants in the UK, as well as factories in China, Brazil, India, Austria, and Slovakia, and globally produced over 557,000 Jaguar Land Rover models in 2019.
