00:00 British luxury automobile manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover has reported a pre-tax
00:06 profit of £2.2 billion, marking its highest since 2015. The uptick in
00:12 returns has been attributed to thriving global demand for the company's luxury
00:16 models, particularly the Defender and Range Rover models manufactured at its
00:21 Solihull factory. In addition to the company's diesel vehicles, a keen interest
00:26 is also seen in its prototype electric Range Rover, currently in the testing
00:31 phase in the Arctic Circle. Speaking on these profits, their chief executive
00:36 officer stated that sustained global demand for the modern luxury vehicles
00:41 set the stage for this financial performance. In a move to ramp up its
00:45 foray into the electric vehicle category, JLR announced in March that it was
00:51 looking to recruit 250 new engineers to work on the development of electric
00:56 cars at its West Midlands facilities.
