JLR switches back to making hybrid cars

It's a big shift for Britain's largest carmaker, reversing a 2023 plan for an electric-only factory. The company told investors on Wednesday it will now offer petrol and hybrid versions of new models. This includes smaller SUVs, with plans to sell an extra 250,000 vehicles to wealthy Americans.
