Carmaker JLR reducing its production at UK factories until spring

Exclusive: Jaguar Land Rover, hit by computer chip shortage, to scale down shifts at Solihull and Halewood

Jaguar Land Rover is cutting production at its UK factories until the spring in a sign of its continued struggle to source semiconductors amid the global shortage.

The carmaker, whose chief executive, Thierry Bollore, last week announced his resignation, has decided to cut production at factories in Solihull and Halewood between January and the end of March as it tries to prioritise its most profitable models, said industry sources.
