Overview

• Operations resume on Wednesday at the Wolverhampton engine plant and the Hams Hall battery assembly center, with stamping lines restarting in Castle Bromwich, Halewood and Solihull.
• Key areas at Solihull, including the body shop, paint shop and logistics operations center, restart this week, with vehicle manufacturing in Nitra and Range Rover lines in Solihull to follow shortly.
• Initial output will be limited as JLR verifies rebuilt IT systems, and high‑volume manufacturing is expected to take several weeks to return.
• JLR launched a short‑term financing scheme that provides qualifying suppliers a majority prepayment shortly after order and a final payment on invoice, re‑established automated payments and will reimburse financing costs during the restart phase.
• Government support includes a UK Export Finance‑backed loan guarantee of up to £1.5 billion for supply‑chain liquidity, and JLR reported quarterly declines of 24.2% in wholesales to 66,165 and 17.1% in retail sales to 85,495.
