Rolls-Royce Expands Electric Vehicle Production in UK

Rolls-Royce is set to unveil a new electric vehicle at the India Mobility Global Expo 2025, marking its entry into the growing luxury electric vehicle market in India, alongside other manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. The company plans to discontinue petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, investing £300 million to enhance its Goodwood facility to support this shift. CEO Chris Brownridge emphasized the importance of this investment for the brand's future, as Rolls-Royce aims to lead in electric luxury vehicles. The upcoming model is speculated to be a smaller SUV, adding to its current electric unit, the Spectre. Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce has reported increased demand for custom vehicles, indicative of a broader trend in the luxury segment. As the automotive industry adapts to electric technology, Rolls-Royce's commitment reflects a strategic pivot towards sustainability and innovation in luxury transport.
