In order to prepare itself for an eventful 2013, JLR is planning to add around 800 jobs at its facility in Solihull, UK which would enable capacity expansion and new product development. The firm has announced a $600 million investment at its Solihull facility to set up an advanced aluminium body shop which will benefit the all new Range Rover.

With new products, JLR is hoping to create another record setting year.
