Brexit impact: Jaguar Land Rover to cut 4,500 jobs worldwide

Live Mint  

London: Jaguar Land Rover Plc, owned by India’s Tata Motors Ltd, plans to eliminate 4,500 jobs worldwide, as the UK’s biggest automobile maker responds to the sales slowdown caused by Brexit, flagging demand for diesel-powered vehicles and a downturn in China. “We are taking decisive action to help deliver long-term growth, in the face of multiple geopolitical and regulatory disruptions as well as technology challenges facing the automotive industry,” JLR chief executive officer Ralf Speth said in the statement. The measures are aimed at “safeguarding our future and ensuring that we maximize the opportunities created by growing demand for autonomous, connected, electric and shared technologies.” The JLR job cuts come on the same day that Ford Motor Co. said it would cut thousands of jobs in Europe as it tries to turn around a region that’s been a drag on earnings for years. Jaguar sales increased by 4.2% in 2018, while Land Rover registrations dropped by 5.7%, according to the Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders industry group.
