On  Thursday 17 August  the Black Country Chamber invites you to attend a tour of Jaguar Land Rover's Engine Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton.

Discover how the advanced new ingenium engine is carved from three humble blocks of metal. From drilling to dyno-testing, get to know the inner workings of this artful, hi-tech and highly sustainable production line.

The tour will include:
After a warm welcome from your host, you'll start your journey in the machining hall. Here, engine blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts are drilled, ground and polished with 3-micron precision by over 173 different machines.

Next you will see how aluminium and steel swarf (waste) is collected, recycled and exported. You will learn about the cutting edge heating, lighting and rainwater-harvesting systems, and the solar roof whose 21,000 panels generate 30% of the site's energy.

Then onto the assembly hall, where you'll witness the birth of the ingenium. The trio of main components are joined; high-speed robots fit bearings, pistons and balance shafts; craftsmen add oil and fuel pumps. Every 39.8 seconds, a radiant four-cylinder, 2.0-litre, low emission engine leaves the production line.

Pose your questions to the experts, and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring world of Jaguar Land Rover engineering.
