Partnership

We have a long-running partnership with Jaguar, dating back to 1935 when we supplied driveline technology to the first SS Jaguar saloon. Today, GKN Automotive supplies every Jaguar model on the market with a range of technologies, including high performance CV jointed sideshafts, propshafts, intelligent all-wheel-drive systems and electronic active differentials.
Our relationship with Jaguar Racing’s Formula E Team started in 2017, in advance of Season 4 of the championship. The partnership is centred around ‘Driving for Efficiency’ at both a component and system level. It is an opportunity to push technology to the limits on the racetrack, which is essential to speed up innovations and further advance know-how.
