Jaguar Land Rover has launched ‘InMotion’, a new technology business that builds apps and on-demand services to “overcome modern travel and transport challenges”, it says.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar Land Rover, InMotion is based in London and will employ up to 30 people who will “support entrepreneurs to build new businesses”. This, JLR maintains will give it the agility and independence to “create nimble services which respond to the fast pace of the mobility sector, but with robust financial and technological support”.
