Read MoreHide Full Article
Magna International Inc. (MGA - Free Report) has announced that it has received a contract to produce Jaguar Land Rover’s E-PACE at its manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria.
It is the second model to be manufactured in Magna International’s facility at Austria, Jaguar’s I-PACE model being the first. This development is likely to bolster the company’s leadership position in contract manufacturing. The production of E-PACE, a compact SUV will start in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Together with Jaguar’s E-PACE, the company will be manufacturing five unalike vehicle models by 2018’s first-quarter. The other models include Jaguar I-PACE, BMW 5 Series, BMW 530e plug-in hybrid and Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The global sales of crossovers and SUVs have increased to 29% in 2016, thus pushing automakers to introduce new models to meet the huge pressure. Jaguar Land Rover’s latest contract vehicle production at Magna International’s manufacturing hub is one such example.
The company’s contract vehicle assembly facility in Graz, Austria is winning many new business contracts. Prior to Jaguar’s E-PACE deal on Jun 2017, the company won a contract manufacturing from BMW, under which it will make the brand new 530e plug-in hybrid model for BMW.
