JAKARTA - Not long ago, Jaguar attracted the world's attention by bravely rebranding its identity and logo and introducing the concept of its newest electric-powered Grand Tourer (GT) car, Type 00.

This car marked a major transformation for this British brand in the era of electric vehicles. With a unique and daring design, Type 00 marks a completely different new start for Jaguar.

That is, Type 00 is a big step for Jaguar to leave their old legacy. With a very different design from the previous model, this concept affirms Jaguar's commitment to becoming a modern, eccentric, and innovative brand.

It is also stated that the production version of this car will adopt the latest platform for EV lines, namely the more sophisticated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JAE). However, is this architecture also used on vehicle lines from manufacturers under the same auspices, namely Tata Motors?

Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR, Rawdon Glover ensures the technology is dedicated only to Jaguar models and there are no plans to be shared with other brands.

The platform is dedicated to Jaguar and currently there are no plans to do so for Tata's car, said Glover, quoted from Autocar India, Thursday, December 5.

He added that the platform was exclusively designed only for vehicles assembled in the UK.

"It will only be used for vehicles designed, engineered, and made in the UK," added Glover.

JAE was presented to support a series of high-end vehicles which are also expected to change brand doses higher than before as providers of mass premium vehicles.

However, Tata already has its platform under the name Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA) for its future mass electric vehicle, Avinya. This system is the result of brand collaboration with JLR.
