Aston Martin’s pre-tax losses crash to £285.4m for the first half of 2022

Carmaker says supply chain shortages have hit production, leaving hundreds of its supercars unfinished

Aston Martin, James Bond's carmaker, saw pre-tax losses crash to 285.4m for the first half of this year as supply chain shortages hit production, leaving hundreds of its supercars unfinished.

The company said it had difficulty meeting high levels of demand for new cars and has been hit by wider supply chain shortages, such as the global shortage of semiconductors and logistics issues.
