Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile manufacturer, has confirmed its long-term commitment to advanced research and development in the UK through the participation of its subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC), in the National Automotive Innovation Campus (NAIC).

TMETC will be joined in the NAIC project by its partners, Jaguar Land Rover and the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick, which will be built at the university campus and is set to become a national emblem of automotive R&D collaboration, innovation and excellence in the UK.

The NAIC represents a total investment of around £100 million, will receive funding from Tata Motors of around £30 million, alongside the support of its partners, Jaguar Land Rover, WMG and the UK Government’s Higher Education Funding Council England. It will be a research hub where people, research and world-leading infrastructure come together for the creation of world-leading technologies that will stimulate the automotive industry with wide economic benefits and sustained growth. The NAIC will create and develop novel technologies to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions.
