Jaguar Land Rover , Friday, said it will temporarily suspend production at its UK manufacturing facilities over the course of next week due to the Coronavirus crisis. The intention, according to the luxury carmaker, is to resume in the week of 20 April, subject to review of the rapidly-changing circumstances.
As a responsible business, Jaguar Land Rover said it is operating in line with advice from the NHS and Public Health England to minimise the spread of the coronavirus, whilst implementing plans to safeguard its business continuity. The company said it will work towards an orderly return to production once conditions permit.
Currently, Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing plants in Brazil and India are still operating. The company’s joint venture plant in China reopened in the week of 24 February, as life begins to get back to normal in the country.
Although the company’s focus must be on its business and responsibilities to employees, Jaguar Land Rover said it is doing whatever it can to support its communities through the current situation.
“The company’s thoughts are with those directly affected by COVID-19 and with the healthcare professionals, whose role in combating this virus is appreciated by all,” Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement.
