Jaguar to run only on batteries

Jaguar Land Rover will all-but ditch the internal combustion engine within 15 years as new chief executive Thierry Bolloré unveiled a radical plan to steer one of the UK's best-known carmakers into the electric era.

In the biggest overhaul of Britain's largest automotive business in a decade, the company will from 2026 phase out the diesel technology that once dominated its fleet and by 2025 shift its historic Jaguar nameplate famed for noisy sports cars to an electric-only brand.
