路虎已宣布所有新的模型将建在沙特阿拉伯后按植物铝是 establishedJaguar 路虎,是通过使用铝冲压车间和生产线,最终,让所有新的路虎模型扩展到沙特阿拉伯。 英国汽车制造商签署了一份意向书与国家产业集群发展规划在沙特阿拉伯买铝从什么被称为世界最大的铝冶炼厂之一。 然后,它预计将产生车身为未来的型号和其他组件,在所有新的、 先进的冲压厂正在建造在王国。 拉尔夫 · 斯佩思,捷豹路虎首席执行官,说,现在公司在一个坚实的基础上,它有全球扩张。他说,他相信这一举动是最适合企业,让它取得世界里最便宜的铝。 一份谅解备忘录预计将在 2013 年,在早期 2015 年开始生产之前签署。 有没有消息的新的模型将建在沙特,但 JLR 来源已经暗示,它可以基于新揽胜平台。 新模型 (来源坚持从未打算在英国) 将最初发给沙特线作为一个被撞倒的工具包允许操作来获得经验之前充分生产切换到该国。 这一激进举动,背后的主要驱动程序说佩思,是铝的确保稳定、 具成本效益供应作为全球对材料的需求开始上升。全球燃料经济法规预计将使轻质材料的使用日益重要的汽车工业。 沙特阿拉伯好定位为这个项目,因为它有两个巨大的铝土矿 — — 岩石,是铝的主要来源 — — 和廉价的电力已创建铝所需的能源密集型过程的理想选择。 斯佩思说,捷豹路虎致力于未来的轻量级和铝其需求将会增加很大,至少四个路虎公司模型由材料制成。大多数的未来美洲虎预计也铝制。 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.
