Newsflash: Jaguar Land Rover has announced that “some sections” of its carmaking operations will restart “in the coming days”.
In a new statement, two days after the government underwrote a £1.5bn loan guarantee for JLR, the UK’s largest carmaker insists that the “foundational work” of its recovery is firmly underway.
However, we don’t know exactly which parts of JLR’s factory output will restart first.
JLR says:
As the controlled, phased restart of our operations continues, we are taking further steps towards our recovery and the return to manufacture of our world‑class vehicles.
Today we are informing colleagues, retailers and suppliers that some sections of our manufacturing operations will resume in the coming days.We continue to work around the clock alongside cybersecurity specialists, the UK Government’s NCSC and law enforcement to ensure our restart is done in a safe and secure manner.
We would like to thank everyone connected with JLR for their continued patience, understanding and support. We know there is much more to do but the foundational work of our recovery is firmly underway, and we will continue to provide updates as we progress.
