Autocar.co.uk said JRL bosses had narrowed down the potential factory site to two areas: one near Győr, in north-west Hungary, which would allow the company to take advantage of the supplier base built up by Audi around its engine and car plant in the city; and the other somewhere in Poland, though the industry portal’s sources could not be more specific.

Autocar said the plant would build models based on the company’s new aluminium architecture and that the upcoming Defender replacement was the lead candidate for overseas production.
