Jaguar Land Rover’s plans to resume production

JLR has announced plans to resume car building after the COVID-19 outbreak required the company to mothball facilities back in March as a measure to protect employees. However, the British car maker is constantly monitoring the situation, having already been able to open the doors at the brand’s Changshu Plant in China in mid-February. In China, the British car maker stated it had begun to experience a “recovery in vehicle sales” with customers returning to showrooms.

JLR points to many countries beginning to ease lockdown measures, with many stores and less-essential outlets gradually reopening, as one of the key deciding factors in resuming vehicle builds. In order to create a safe working environment, social distancing measures will be implemented and workers will need to follow stringent guidelines. JLR’s Solihull plant looks set to be one of the first to recommence works, followed by Slovakia and Austria-based factories.
