The development, which is expected to take up to two years, will be on the i54 business park in Wolverhampton, confirmed as one of several new enterprise zones in July, according to reports. Jaguar Land Rover was previously believed to be considering sites in South Wales and India.

It is believed the engine plant will employ hundreds of people as it has financial support from the government. The business park is part of a 120-hectare site in Darlaston and Wolverhampton North, in the Black Country.
