Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) officially opened its new technical centre on July 5th, in the heart of the British Midlands. The innovative new £$20 million (S$35 million) facility near Coventry will be the headquarters of SVO and will house manufacturing, paint, technical and customer commissioning and presentation zones.
The specialist division of Jaguar Land Rover created in June 2014 to build a business responsible for halo car products, vehicle personalisation, classic car programmes by Jaguar Land Rover Classic and an exciting range of branded goods.
John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said, "The new Special Vehicle Operations technical centre is a major step forward in meeting the desires of our most discerning customers. There are more than 200 skilled employees here that are committed to outstanding quality and craftsmanship in everything they do."
"The SVO Technical Centre is very modern facility, inspired by a Formula One engineering centre. It covers 215,278sq ft (20,000m2) including a manufacturing area, one of the world's most eco-friendly and advanced paint shops, custom-built commissioning suite, technical suite, presentation suite and offices," he added.
