Up to 20% of its energy will come from almost 3,000m² of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, and the remainder from 100% renewable sources.
The company has created a natural environment in the expanded facility to promote the personal health, wellbeing and productivity of its employees at Gaydon.
A natural landscape is at the heart of the site, creating an ecologically diverse area reusing 80,000m³ of natural soil excavated during the construction process, the equivalent of 30 Olympic sized pools.
The company has said that it is on track to deliver its commitment to offer customers electrified options for all new Jaguar and Land Rover models from 2020
