Jaguar Land Rover begins Brexit-linked UK plant shutdowns

Live Mint  

London: Jaguar Land Rover shut its UK plants on Monday for five days over Brexit, adding to other shutdowns to leave at least half the country's car production off-line in what could be a pivotal week for Britain's divorce from the EU. With Britain's political leaders still deadlocked over Brexit and some EU states questioning a further departure delay, culture minister Jeremy Wright said May would continue talks with the opposition Labour Party to try to find a compromise solution. BMW's UK Mini and Rolls-Royce plants are also shuttered this week, as is Peugeot's Vauxhall car factory, which brought forward summer shutdowns to April. At least 25% of Britain's automotive engine capacity is also closed as BMW's central English Hams Hall factory continues a four-week shutdown while JLR's Wolverhampton site stops production this week as part of Brexit preparations.
