Chapter 1045: Inspect the Factory!

In the memory of Yang Jie's previous life, Jaguar Land Rover was taken over by the Tata Group of Tianzhu Kingdom and also vigorously milk these two brands, and the miracle of vigorous milk was a miracle, and Jaguar Land Rover continued to be profitable until 2017, with global sales reaching 500,000 vehicles.

Tata Motors was able to make money, and how much money it could make, all depended on how fast the locomotive of Jaguar Land Rover ran that year, and the revenue of the Jaguar Land Rover brand reached more than 30 billion US dollars, accounting for 80% of the entire revenue of the Tata Group of Companies.

However, when automakers need to invest more money after entering the four "modernizations", Tata Group, as the parent company, will not be able to milk any longer, and Jaguar Land Rover's own money alone will not be enough to support greater R&D investment.

The Tata Group also does not want to sell its high-quality assets, but hopes to cooperate with other automobile group companies with strong financial strength.

However, at that time, there was no longer a brand acquisition between automobile group companies, and they were all about technology sharing.

This time, it is also a special situation for the Fuerde Group to sell these two brands to Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, after all, the former does need enough cash flow, and Huaxing Group has a lot of money in its hands.

Of course, the Tata Group has also been in contact with the Fuord Group, but the cooperation between the Fuord Group and the Zhongyuan Automobile Group has always been relatively pleasant, and Bill Ford also insists on selling the two brands to Huaxing Group.

This time, since the two brands of Jaguar Land Rover are in the bag, Yang Jie also hopes to continue to operate these two brands well, and it doesn't cost much anyway.

Now Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company has no intention of acquiring any more brands, and Yang Jie also hopes that the acquired brands can share technology with Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company to form differentiated competition within them.

Dr. Schweder and others naturally attach great importance to Yang Jie's opinions, and also said that they will increase investment in electrification, strengthen cooperation with Zhongyuan Automobile Group and Huaxing Group Company, build a new powertrain engineering system factory, including fuel cell powertrain and fuel powertrain assembly, and produce fuel cell powertrain modules and new fuel-powered powertrain assemblies for Jaguar Land Rover's future products, and also carry out comprehensive transformation and upgrading of its two factories.

Jaguar Land Rover does not have any accumulation in hybrid technology, so Yang Jie will not let this subsidiary get involved in the development of hybrid system technology.

He hopes that in a few years' time, all new Jaguar Land Rover models will be available as fuel cell models, as the number of hydrogen fueling stations in many European cities is also increasing, which provides very good conditions for Jaguar Land Rover to launch this type of luxury vehicle.

The next decade will be the most changing decade for the automotive industry, perhaps more than the last 50 or even 100 years.

To achieve this kind of experience, it is necessary to add through networking, electrification and all different factors, and through technological innovation, the entire mode of travel will undergo a qualitative change.

The Jaguar Land Rover brand must also rely on Zhongyuan Automobile Company and Huaxing Group to transfer the most advanced technology in this area.

Of course, some of the leading technologies of John's Bull's own domestic R&D institutions, Jaguar Land Rover, naturally need to be used.

Yang Jie also hopes that Jaguar Land Rover will become a car brand based on technology research and development, although the domestic automobile industry of John Bull has declined, but there are still many research and development institutions in this country, and there are many technical patents that can still be used.

Now the total number of Jaguar Land Rover companies is more than 10,000 people, and the number of R&D personnel is in the thousands.

Two days later, Yang Jie took Bai Bing, Song Manli and others to Birmingham's factory in Bromichburg to inspect the Jaguar sports car factory.

The factory has a very long history, having previously produced not only automobiles, but also fighter jets and bombers.

The factory covers an area of 45 hectares, with three body shops, a paint shop and three final assembly shops, and as soon as you enter the factory gates, you can see the memorabilia of the factory over the years, the history of which dates back to the thirties of the last century, from the walls outside the slab warehouse.

The person in charge of the factory accompanied Yang Jie and others to inspect the plate stamping workshop first, because Jaguar uses all-aluminum alloy materials, because the ductility of aluminum alloy is not very good, and the stamping process of these aluminum alloys is much more complicated than the stamping process of using steel plates.

The aluminium stampings are also rarely welded, but riveted and glued, mainly because the factory was used to produce fighter jets and bombers, and those aviation technologies were carried over to automobile manufacturing.

In the body manufacturing workshop, Yang Jie also noticed that the degree of automation here is not very high, probably only about half, and there are not many testing equipment, which is basically maintained at the level of the late nineties.

Yang Jie noticed that the yield rate of this factory is not very high, and there are many defective products.

This factory is indeed much worse than the manufacturing level and process level of BMW Group and Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company.

Yang Jie was not very satisfied with the production situation of the factory, and then inspected another Solihull factory.

Covering an area three times larger than the Bromichburg factory, the plant now began production of Land Rover models in the summer of '48, and Solihull has been home to Range Rover since the first Range Rover rolled off the assembly line in 1970.

Compared to the factory in Fort Bromitch, this factory naturally has much more room for renovation.

Yang Jie then went to inspect Jaguar Land Rover's Harrywood factory outside Liverpool, which was built in 1963 and is a veritable old factory.

After some inspection, Yang Jie was not satisfied with the situation of the three factories, which were all very low in modernization and lacked a test center for new cars.

Yang Jie also put forward a request to Dr. Schweder, these three factories must all be modernized, the three factories to achieve flexible production, each factory can produce different types of vehicles, and it is also necessary to purchase new land to build a new Jaguar Land Rover new car development test site to conduct intensive experiments on various new cars.
