The division's performance is key to India's Tata Motors as it contributes nearly 60% to the group's revenue from operations.

☆ Jaguar Land Rover sets out to train workers, dealers for EV world
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Nick Carey | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The shift to EVs means carmakers need to provide fresh skills to workers trained to make and service fossil-fuel models. EV sales have risen sharply in Europe over the last two years and looming fossil-fuel car bans mean more are coming. JLR's luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and the carmaker will launch electric versions of its entire line-up by 2030. JLR has developed its own training materials in cooperation with the University of Coventry and the University of Warwick. "Plant employees at all levels will require training to ensure they can work safely alongside the high voltage systems," JLR said.

Gareth Kaminski-Cook, CEO of Autins, which makes noise-reducing and thermal insulation for carmakers, gives a tour of the auto supplier's factory in Tamworth, Britain, May 3, 2022. Many auto suppliers, already squeezed by rampant inflation and energy prices, say they have little choice but to shoulder the extra costs of making their components sustainable to meet carmakers' environmental targets. "We're going to see a real big shakeout the next five, 10 years in the auto supply chain." The company, which is worth about $39 billion, launched its own sustainability drive in 2020 and is working on recyclable products with carmakers including Volkswagen, Volvo and BMW. Guell says carmakers only want to work with suppliers who use green energy, leaving him in a tight spot.

Earlier this month, Reliance bought a majority stake in SenseHawk, which develops software-based management tools for solar energy generation. The unknown, following the failed flutter at Boots, is where Ambani’s global ambitions stop. CONTEXT NEWSMukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries on Sept. 5 announced an agreement to acquire a majority stake in California-based SenseHawk for $32 million.
