Solihull, a city of 215,000 inhabitants, is located about half an hour's drive southeast of Birmingham. It is considered one of the centers of British automotive manufacturing. However, Solihull is not only home to the main Jaguar Land Rover plant, but since the end of last year also to a state-of-the-art ZF Technical Center. There, in the Blythe Valley Business Park, two huge buildings have been erected on an area of more than 20,400 square meters (220,000 square feet): a Technical Center for developers and a somewhat smaller office complex. Currently, 750 employees from a wide range of disciplines from several divisions work in these buildings. They develop key technologies and solutions for active and passive safety systems, for electric and autonomous driving, for cyber security, electronics, braking and steering systems, and technologies for motor racing.
