Although this is good news, I'm sad to say it's not that great. I suspect it will be only temporary, for the next 2-3 years, as JLR are hoping for the pund to stay low making the production of diesel and petrol cars cheap

Which leads onto the second point...With countries such as Germany (even British cities are looking into this) looking at banning Diesel cars then that market will slowly become stagnant and electric cars will start to become the alternative over the next couple of years. What is not mentioned in all these articles is, is that JLR will build it's electric cars in Austria:
