One of Jaguar Land Rover's most senior and longest-serving engineers, Mike Cross, has announced his retirement after 37 years at the company, while Aston Martin engineer Matt Becker joins the team.
Cross, whose official title is vehicle targets and sign-off director, has been responsible for some of the company's most pivotal models during his tenure. Jaguar Land Rover highlights his efforts in developing its first plug-in hybrids and his "defining role in the development of Jaguar’s distinctive handling and driving character".
