Overview

• Operations restart on October 8 at the Wolverhampton engine plant and the Battery Assembly Centre in the West Midlands, with stamping work resuming in Castle Bromwich, Halewood and Solihull the same day.
• Vehicle manufacturing is set to follow later this week at Nitra in Slovakia and on the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport lines in Solihull, with an update on Halewood timing to come.
• JLR is launching a supplier financing program that provides a majority prepayment shortly after order and a final true‑up at invoice, with JLR reimbursing financing costs during the restart phase.
• Automated supplier payment systems have been restored after weeks of manual processing to keep cash flowing through the supply chain.
• The UK government has announced a £1.5 billion loan guarantee to support private lending to JLR’s supply chain, and the company said it will publish second‑quarter results today.
