Jaguar Land Rover to continue AJ V8 production in-house

Future secured for the supercharged V8 engine, which had been uncertain after Ford announced Bridgend Plant closure

 

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will take over production of the 'AJ' supercharged petrol V8 in Wolverhampton after Ford shuts its Bridgend plant next month, Autocar can confirm.

The future of the engine – which is used in everything from the Jaguar F-Type to the Range Rover (and set to be used in the new Land Rover Defender) – had been uncertain since last summer, when Ford announced the closure of the facility where it has been built since 1996.

It has now emerged that JLR will transfer the production equipment, and possibly some of the workforce, from Wales to the West Midlands in a ‘lift and shift’ operation.

A statement from the firm read: “Manufacture of the JLR-designed V8 petrol engines previously made at Bridgend will move to the JLR Engine Manufacturing Centre, with further detail to be confirmed at a later date.”

Ford says production at Bridgend is now focused on work for “third parties” (JLR), with assembly of the Ford Sigma and Dragon engines already having been wound down. Bridgend is understood to have been building the AJ at a higher rate than required in order to build up buffer supplies while the production line is moved.

Sources suggest the AJ, now in its third generation, will continue in production for three to five years. The timing is likely to coincide with the introduction of EU7, an inevitably more stringent next step of European Union emissions regulations.

At that point, JLR is expected to adopt BMW’s V8 as part of a wide-reaching powertrain deal, as demand for this engine type dwindles in Europe but stays buoyant in the US and the Middle East.

Strong demand for the current V8 in those markets is a key motivator for JLR taking over its production and continuing to build it.

 

Almeno altri 3/5 anni di vita per il V8 JLR 😍

La teoria è quando si conosce il funzionamento di qualcosa ma quel qualcosa non funziona.

La pratica è quando tutto funziona ma non si sa come.

Spesso si finisce con il coniugare la teoria con la pratica: non funziona niente e non si sa il perché.

Ottimo, il V8 Jaguar è uno dei motori più affascinanti in circolazione, sono contento continui ancora per un po'. Immagino però andrà aggiornato per sopravvivere all'Euro 6D, essendo di concezione non proprio recente.

In pratica Ford gli ha venduto le linee così da non doverglieli più costruire?

 

Spero però che il V6 derivato sia definitivamente morto

Concordo, da qui la mia speranza. Ma il sei in linea l'hanno già montato su qualcosa o deve ancora uscire? Ha sempre il sistema multi-air in licenza?

Sì con il Multiair di Schaeffler, L'ingenium L6 da 3.0 litri è montato in accoppiata con i sistemi P2 MHEV sulle Range Rover, Range Rover Sport e Land Rover Defender (AJ300 da 360 e 400 CV).

Di recente ha debuttato - in versione Diesel - anche nelle Range Rover e Range Rover Sport come AJ300D con potenze da 249 a 350 CV, praticamente hanno cestinato il V6 Lion ed il V8 Lion.
