‘Everything is against us’: Jaguar Land Rover suppliers voice fears amid carmaker’s cutbacks
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported43m ago
Britain's largest automaker, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has announced plans to cut 4,000 jobs across its global workforce over the next two years. The workforce reduction is part of a broader cost-cutting strategy aimed at positioning the company to compete with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers and save approximately £1.7 billion ($2.3 billion).
The cutbacks have triggered widespread anxiety among the company's supply chain partners. Industry representatives, including David Roberts, chair of the Coventry-based firm Evtec, have warned of severe impacts from the downsizing and are urging the government to provide financial support to protect the automotive sector.
