Iħjut L-art ġdida kollha tal-Land Rover li għandha tinbena fl-Arabja Sawdija

Land Rover ħabbret mudell ġdid kollu se jinbena fl-Arabja Sawdija wara li jiġi stabbilit impjant tal-ippressar tal-aluminjuJaguar Land Rover għandu jespandi fl-Arabja Sawdija billi juża impjant tal-ippressar tal-aluminju u, eventwalment, linja ta 'produzzjoni biex tagħmel mudell land Rover ġdid hemmhekk.
Il-produttur tal-karozzi Ingliż iffirma ittra ta' intenzjoni mal-Programm Nazzjonali għall-Iżvilupp tal-Clusters Industrijali fl-Arabja Sawdija biex jixtri l-aluminju minn dak li qed jiġi deskritt bħala wieħed mill-akbar funderiji tal-aluminju fid-dinja.
Imbagħad huwa mistenni li jipproduċi pannelli tal-ġisem għal mudelli futuri, u komponenti oħra, f'impjant tal-ippressar ġdid u l-aktar avvanzat li qed jinbena fir-renju.
Ralf Speth, CEO ta 'Jaguar Land Rover, jgħid issa li l-kumpanija tinsab fuq bażi soda, trid tespandi globalment. Huwa jgħid li huwa fiduċjuż li din il-mossa hija dik it-tajba għad-ditta, li tippermettilha tiżgura l-orħos aluminju fid-dinja.
Huwa mistenni li jiġi ffirmat memorandum ta' qbil f'nofs l-2013, qabel ma tibda l-produzzjoni fil-bidu tal-2015.
M'hemm l-ebda aħbar dwar liema mudell ġdid se jinbena fl-Arabja Sawdija, iżda sorsi JLR taw x'jifhem li jista 'jkun ibbażat fuq il-pjattaforma l-ġdida range Rover.
Il-mudell il-ġdid (li s-sorsi jinsistu li qatt ma kien maħsub li jsir fir-Renju Unit) inizjalment se jintbagħat lil-linja Sawdija bħala kit imwaqqa' biex jippermetti li l-operazzjoni tikseb esperjenza, qabel ma taqleb il-produzzjoni sħiħa lejn il-pajjiż.
Il-mutur ewlieni wara din il-mossa radikali, jgħid Speth, huwa li jiżgura provvista kostanti u kosteffikaċi tal-aluminju hekk kif id-domanda globali għall-materjal tibda tiżdied. Ir-regolamenti globali dwar l-ekonomija tal-fjuwil huma mistennija li jagħmlu l-użu ta' materjali ħfief dejjem aktar importanti għall-industrija tal-karozzi.
L-Arabja Sawdija tinsab f'pożizzjoni tajba għal dan il-proġett minħabba li għandha kemm depożiti vasti ta' bauxite — il-blat li huwa s-sors ewlieni tal-aluminju — u l-enerġija rħisa ideali għall-proċess intensiv fl-enerġija li huwa meħtieġ biex jinħoloq l-aluminju.
Speth jgħid li JLR hija impenjata għal futur ħafif u d-domanda tagħha għall-aluminju se tiżdied konsiderevolment, b'mill-inqas erba 'mudelli ta' kumpaniji Land Rover magħmula mill-materjali. Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-Jaguars futuri huma wkoll mistennija li jkunu magħmula mill-aluminju.

Land Rover has announced an all-new model will be built in Saudi Arabia after an aluminium pressing plant is establishedJaguar Land Rover is to expand into Saudi Arabia by using an aluminium pressing plant and, eventually, a production line to make an all-new Land Rover model there.
The British car maker has signed a letter of intent with the National Industrial Clusters Development Program in Saudi Arabia to buy aluminium from what is being described as one of the worlds largest aluminium smelters.
It is then expected to produce body panels for future models, and other components, at an all-new, state-of-the-art pressing plant that is being built in the kingdom.
Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, says now that the company is on a solid footing, it has to expand globally. He says he is confident that this move is the right one for the firm, allowing it to secure the cheapest aluminium in the world.
A memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed in the middle of 2013, before the production begins in early 2015.
Theres no news on which new model will be built in Saudi, but JLR sources have hinted that it could be based on the new Range Rover platform.
The new model (which sources insist was never intended to be made in the UK) will initially be sent to the Saudi line as a knocked down kit to allow the operation to gain experience, before full production switches to the country.
The main driver behind this radical move, says Speth, is to secure a steady, cost-effective supply of aluminium as global demand for the material starts to rise. Global fuel economy regulations are expected to make the use of lightweight materials increasingly important for the car industry.
Saudi Arabia is well positioned for this project because it has both vast bauxite deposits — the rock that is the main source of aluminium — and the cheap power ideal for the energy-intensive process thats needed to create aluminium.
Speth says JLR is committed to a lightweight future and its demand for aluminium will rise considerably, with at least four Land Rover company models made from the materials. Most future Jaguars are also expected to be made of aluminium.
