Tata Motors build electric cars in the UK.

The government has announced a £10m loan to Tata Motors which will lead to numerous new automotive jobs.
The loan will help Tata Motors build electric cars in the UK.
The new electric car is a four-seater vehicle that can reach a speed of 65mph and cover as much as 125 miles before needing a recharge.

The £10m will reportedly support the £25m investment made by Tata Motors towards low carbon technology in the motor industry, The Guardian reported.

The Indian company made the £25m investment into their West Midlands-based European Technical Centre (TMETC).

Luckily now the finance is secured and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson commented that the loan will create multiple jobs in the UK.

However, Tata is yet to announce where the new car will be assembled within the country.
According to the newspaper assembling will start off in Norway until the UK site is prepared and ready.

Lord Mandelson told The Independent that the government is firm in their support to the struggling car industry.

“The Government is determined to help the car industry to exploit fully the opportunities offered by green manufacturing. Today we are backing Tata as Tata backs Britain”, he said.
Lord Mandelson added: “This loan will strengthen our electric vehicle manufacturing expertise, securing and creating high value engineering jobs in the West Midlands.

TMETC will continue to invest in research and development in the next generation of sustainable transport, helping it become a lead player in this exciting and important technological area.”

With the government backing UK jobs in electric and “green” car technology, it can be a likely avenue for automotive engineers to consider.
