Jaguar Land Rover said it will produce an electric version of its Defender at its plant in Slovakia.
The automaker did not provide a specific timeline for the new electric Defender's launch. Its plant in Nitra, Slovakia builds the current Defender.
The electric Defender is part of JLR's plans to launch nine fully electric models by 2030.
JLR said earlier this year it will invest £15 bn ($18 bn) over the next five years to develop electric vehicles, with a new full-electric Jaguar coming in 2025.
So far JLR has announced plans to produce six Range Rover and Jaguar electric models in the U.K. by 2030 at its plants in Solihull and Halewood.
