捷豹路虎已经报告了2009年财政年度的净利润为5500万。这是可能的，因为公司在2009年度推出的新车型。这包括所有新的捷豹XJ，该公司报告了令人印象深刻的销售数字。JLR也获得各种金融贷款继续为新车型和新技术开发。这包括从欧洲投资银行3亿4000万英镑的贷款和1亿7500万英镑的贷款。他们计划在路虎LRX概念生产用的资金，这是要推出最小的路虎。JLR的增加对新兴市场的依赖，因为它计划增加其从印度市场采购，还计划将其由中国生产。
1. Jaguar Land Rover company profile
Jaguar Land Rover Cars (JLR), founded in 1922, is one of the world's premier manufacturers of luxury saloons and sports cars. It is a business built around two great British car brands with exceptional design and engineering capabilities. Their manufacturing facilities are in the UK and currently employ over 16,000 people, predominantly in the UK (Tata Company Profile, 2009). In June 2008 India's Tata Motors bought JLR from Ford Motors for £1.15bn (BBC, 2008). The JLR business acts as a major wealth generator for the UK, with 78 per cent of Land Rovers exported to 169 countries and 70 per cent of Jaguars exported to 63 countries. Sales to customers are conducted principally through franchised dealers and importers (Tata company profile, 2009). However, since the acquisition Land Rover sales have fallen nearly 23 per cent in 2009, down to 144,133. Jaguar was also down by nearly 20 per cent to around 52,500 (Birmingham Post, 2010).
2. Recent developments:
Jaguar Land Rover has reported a net profit of 55 million the financial year 2009. This has been possible because of the new models launched by the company in the year 2009. This includes the All New Jaguar XJ, which has reported impressive sales figures for the company. JLR has also secured various financial loans to continue its search for new models and new technologies. This includes the GBP 340 million loan from the European investment bank and also the GBP 175 million loan from the state bank of India (FT.com). They plan to employ the money in the production of Land Rover LRX concept, which is the smallest Land Rover to be launched. JLR is increasing its dependence on the emerging markets as it plans to increase its sourcing from the Indian market and also plans to moves it production to China (Coventry Telegraph.net).
