The British carmaker Jaguar Land Rover announced on Tuesday that it will produce its new Land Rover Discovery model in two European plants: in Solihull, in the West Midlands of England, and at its newest plant in Nitra, Slovakia. The carmaker also stated that the new seven-seat SUV will become the main product made at the Slovak plant, which is due to launch its operation in 2018. It will require an investment of €1.17 billion and it will provide jobs to 2,800 people. Labelling it as a strategic investment project, the Slovak Cabinet signed a memorandum of understanding with Jaguar Land Rover in August 2015. Later in the same year, the Government approved a maximum of €130 million in investment assistance to the carmaker.
