US: Jaguar Land Rover chief is not looking for merger

By  |  November 21, 2019

Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover’s chief executive told Reuters he is open to more alliances to lower the costs of developing technology, but is not looking for a full-blown corporate merger, reported Reuters.

“We feel the pressure” from demands to slash carbon emissions and develop electric vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover chief Ralf Speth said in an interview on the sidelines of the Los Angeles auto show. 

But to the question of whether the company and its parent, Tata Motors, are seeking a merger for Jaguar Land Rover, Speth said, “The answer is no. We can really survive on our own.” 

The British luxury sedan and SUV maker is “always open” to discussions of technology alliances and component sharing with other companies, Speth said.
