Over 1.5 million ultra-efficient Ingenium powertrains, which are used in all of JLR’s vehicles (except the all-electric I-PACE), have been produced at the factory. The Ingenium family supports the company’s long-term commitment to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy across its vehicle range. This is part of its ‘Destination Zero’ mission and a commitment to reducing emissions and making environments cleaner through relentless innovation.
JLR has committed to developing the Ingenium technology, advancing the electrification of its model line-up and establishing a concept hydrogen fuel cell powertrain solution, using the government’s recently announced £735 million investment in advanced propulsion.
The Engine Manufacturing Centre also houses the assembly of Electric Drive Units (EDUs), offering full flexibility between new petrol and diesel engines and EDUs for those customers who want to make the switch from conventional to electrified vehicles.
The Wolverhampton site is complemented by a growing electrification ecosystem in the Midlands, with the innovative and technologically advanced Battery Assembly Centre at nearby Hams Hall assembling PHEV and BEV batteries. Together, they will power the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover electrified vehicles.

“We are experiencing unprecedented demand for cleaner-running vehicles, so it’s more important than ever to deliver clean and efficient engines without compromising on the performance or all-terrain capabilities our customers have come to expect,” said Ken Close, powertrain operations launch director at Jaguar Land Rover. “Our Ingenium powertrains offer the very best of both worlds – better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, and even greater torque for a more responsive and engaging drive."
