Overview
- The limited redundancy programme will remove about 1.5% of JLR’s UK management workforce through voluntary departures.
- JLR described the job cuts as normal business practice intended to align its leadership team with current operational needs.
- Retail sales fell 15.1% in the quarter to June after a pause in US exports under President Trump’s tariffs and the winding down of legacy Jaguar models.
- A UK-US trade agreement allows up to 100,000 British-made cars into the US at a reduced 10% tariff, relieving some pressure on JLR’s margins.
- The company has postponed the rollout of its electric Range Rover and new Jaguar EVs to enable further testing and better match market demand as it pursues an all-electric lineup by 2030.
