The potential arrangement would involve manufacturing at facilities currently operated by Jaguar Land Rover, according to reports from the Financial Times and Chinese automotive sources. The UK government has publicly expressed interest in attracting Chery to manufacture vehicles domestically and has identified Jaguar Land Rover’s plants as a potential option. Chinese sources confirm that these talks are ongoing but emphasize that no formal agreement has been reached. Jaguar Land Rover, controlled by Tata Motors of India, has an existing joint venture with Chery. In 2024, Jaguar Land Rover licensed the Freelander brand to Chery for the development of battery electric models based on Chery platforms.
