Mark White
Technical Director
Alumobility
Mark worked in Body Engineering for Jaguar Land Rover for nearly 30 years, after graduating from Coventry University. Starting in Jaguar BIW, he was promoted: to Sports car BIW Manager, then all Jaguar BIW Programs & then took responsibility for the whole JLR BIW team in 2002, he was appointed by Ford as Chief Technical Specialist for Body Light-weighting in 2004 & finally Body Complete Chief Engineer in 2012, retiring from JLR in 2016.
Mark started work on Aluminium Intensive Vehicle (AIV) Programs with Jaguar & Ford in the mid 1990’s, launching the Jaguar XJ AIV in 2002, the World’s first production aluminium Riv-bonded Monocoque BIW. When JLR separated from Ford, Mark developed the AIV D7u & D7a platforms to replace JLR & Ford legacy models to reduce emissions & improve performance.
Mark pioneered JLR’s drive to reduce weight, focused on reductions in body systems, he was awarded a Doctor of Engineering by Brunel University 2011 & was made a Professor at Brunel in 2019.
Mark is also the Technical Director of Alumobility, an organisation focused on the application of aluminium to vehicle body & chassis systems to improve light-weighting & sustainability.
