Jaguar Land Rover to stop output at UK factories for a week due to Brexit

Live Mint  

Gaydon, England: Britain’s biggest carmaker, Jaguar Land Rover, will halt production at its British factories for a week in November, its boss said on Thursday, joining BMW and Toyota in plans to help mitigate any immediate disruption from a no-deal Brexit. Chief Executive Ralf Speth said the firm had to make plans now, including a stop to production at its four British factories during the first week of November. The move will affect the firm's three car factories, which collectively built just under a third of Britain's 1.5 million cars last year, and its engine facility in Wolverhampton. Japanese carmarker Toyota said in August it will not build cars at its British factory on Nov. 1 whilst BMW will halt production at its Oxford plant on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
