Unipart Logistics has announced it has won a three-year contract to service the new Jaguar Land Rover Battery Assembly Centre in the West Midlands.
The company claims that the Battery Assembly Centre will be one of the largest of its kind in the UK, using new production techniques and technologies to manufacture battery packs for future Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles from 2020.
More than 100 Unipart people will provide production logistics at the site in Hams Hall, which will provide electric vehicle batteries for Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull and Castle Bromwich manufacturing plants.
Unipart already delivers parts and aftermarket support for Jaguar Land Rover and other customers such as VW, as well as carrying out production logistics for other premium brand automotive customers.
Unipart is committed to and investing in the electric vehicle market. In 2018, Unipart announced a joint venture with Williams Advanced Engineering called Hyperbat to manufacture batteries for high-performance vehicles.
