JLR PRESSURE POINTS

-

BREXIT

As the UK's largest automaker, it is vulnerable to a hard Brexit deal that can potentiall­y cause a £ 1.2 billion impact to its bottom line each year.

E L ECTRIC MOBILITY

It has just launched its first all- electric SUV, iPace, in the UK. Needs to quickly develop and launch more electric cars but it will be costly.

D I E S E L GATE

Drop in diesel car demand in Europe and the UK is a cause for

concern. JLR's sales mix is skewed towards diesel than most peers.

TRADE WARS

Its production is heavily concentrat­ed in the UK and Europe, which stunts capability to circumvent higher tariffs in case of a full- blown global trade war.

NARROW P RODUCT PORTFOLIO

It still doesnt have compact SUVs like BMW X1 and Audi Q3 or entry level sedans like Mercedes CLA and Audi A3 that bring in significan­t volumes for its three main German rivals.
