Jaguar Land Rover will build its iconic Defender in Slovakia, not the UK

CNN  

London CNN Business — Jaguar Land Rover will build the next generation of its Defender in Slovakia, adding to worries over the future of the British car industry. The automaker, which owned by India’s Tata Motors, confirmed this week that production of the iconic Defender will resume at a plant in Slovakia that opened in October 2018. Jaguar Land Rover, the largest carmaker in the United Kingdom, had already announced plans in January to reduce its global workforce by 4,500. LEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images Mike Hawes, CEO of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said that moving the Brexit deadline to the end of October had created a “new period of limbo” that would halt investment and cause expensive factory shutdowns.
