Ford, BMW, and JLR in Talks for Joint Battery Plant in UK?


Recommended Posts

I guess where there is smoke, there might be fire:

 

 


JLR executives have met Ford and BMW officials about collaborating on a plant with the capacity to supply "several hundred thousand vehicles," the Sunday Times reported.

After sterling's decline following the Brexit vote, the plant would also lessen the financial headwinds of a weaker pound for net importers Ford and BMW, the analysts said.

I'll take brands that own, or previously owned, Land Rover for 1000 Alex.

 

Strange bedfellows.

With the number of resource sharing arrangements going on in the auto world, I don't think any two manufacturers can really be called strange bedfellows any longer.
