JLR and Stellantis sign a MoU

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Stellantis have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), seeking collaborative opportunities for car development in the US. The non-binding MoU signed by the brands aims to extract value by creating synergies in product and technology development, primarily focused on the US market. This is also the first time JLR has signed an MoU with any American automaker.

  1. This agreement is specifically for the US market
  2. JLR and Stellantis have both signed agreements with Tata

The JLR and Stellantis MoU

The MoU signed by JLR and Stellantis has to wait regulatory approvals before it can become legally binding. However, the “collaboration will play an important role in unlocking new opportunities. Working with Stellantis allows us to explore complementary capabilities in product and technology development that support our long‑term growth plans for the US market,” PB Balaji, Chief Executive Officer of JLR, said.

The companies plan to explore ideas to develop products and technologies that can benefit each other while also delivering “experiences our customers love,” Antonio Filosa, Chief Executive Officer of Stellantis, stated. In India, Stellantis signed a MoU with Tata Motors in February 2026 for exploring local and global collaborations across manufacturing, engineering, and the supply chain. This also marked a 20-year manufacturing alliance between Tata Motors and Stellantis.

The home-grown automaker had previously signed an agreement with JLR to manufacture JLR and Tata EVs on a common platform, with manufacturing taking place at Tata’s Ranipet plant in Tamil Nadu. While the MoU has been signed, developments coming from discussions between JLR and Stellantis would still need legally binding contracts in order to be executed.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
