Tata Communications Expands Partnership with JLR for Advanced Connected Vehicle Ecosystem

Tata Communications informed the exchanges that the company is strengthening its partnership with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to enhance JLR’s connected vehicle ecosystem with the Tata Communications MOVE™ platform.

This collaboration will transform the driving experience globally, providing JLR’s next-generation software-defined vehicles with seamless connectivity and intelligent services, even in remote areas across 120 countries.

Details of the Partnership

The partnership will allow JLR’s new medium-sized SUVs, built on the Electric Modular Architecture (EMA), to maintain uninterrupted access to personalised services like media streaming by transitioning smoothly between mobile networks and operators. This collaboration is also set to enable more secure and efficient data exchange between JLR and customers’ vehicles, facilitating software over-the-air (SOTA) updates and the deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Currently, JLR’s connected vehicles generate 2.5 terabytes of data daily, with over half a million electronic control units (ECUs) being updated monthly. The integration of the Tata Communications MOVE™ platform will amplify this data exchange, providing real-time monitoring of vehicle performance, enabling quicker updates, and improving vehicle maintenance and servicing. These improvements are expected to reduce ownership costs for car owners and JLR alike.

JLR’s new vehicles, expected to roll out in 2026, will offer a smarter, more efficient, and connected driving experience.

Commenting on the partnership, the Vice President and Global Head of Tata Communications MOVE™, Marco Bijvelds, said, “The automotive industry is continually innovating to meet ever-changing customer demands. Last year, our digital fabric enabled seamless connectivity across all JLR’s production sites globally.”

He further added, “As part of our extended partnership, we’re now powering JLR’s software-defined vehicle journey worldwide and enabling them to deliver advanced driving features in their cars. The insights derived from the data exchanged through our platform will enable JLR to offer personalised customer experiences, opening doors for new revenue streams.”

Mark Brogden, Director of Digital Product Platform Off-Board at JLR, said, “JLR was the first luxury vehicle manufacturer to introduce dual modem, dual eSIM design for enhanced connectivity with the launch of Defender in 2020. The partnership with Tata Communications is the next step in our software-defined vehicle journey, offering highly secure and cost-effective data connectivity across 120 countries. Starting in 2026 with our next generation of medium-size luxury SUVs, Tata Communications MOVE™ aims to deliver continuous connected experiences for our clients, offering features and new software updates over-the-air to meet the expectations of our luxury client base.’’
