Jaguar Land Rover to reduce UK production until March
Jaguar Land Rover is reducing vehicle output in the UK through March, as the carmaker prioritises making highermargin models because of semiconductor shortages.
The loss-making manufacturer will cut production of the Range Rover Velar and Jaguar F-Pace models that are made in Solihull, while ramping up output of its most lucrative models, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
Jaguar Land Rover may also reduce production at its Halewood plant where it makes the more affordable Evoque and Discovery Sport models, though a final decision hasn’t been made.
“We continue to actively manage the operational patterns of our manufacturing plants whilst the industry experiences ongoing global semiconductor supply chain disruption,” a Jaguar Land Rover spokesman said in an email. “Demand for our vehicles remains strong,” the spokesman stated.
