JLR factory production lines resuming hailed as ‘significant moment’


The company was back to doing “what it did best”, he added, “building quality luxury vehicles for our customers”.

Stamping operations in Castle Bromwich, West Midlands, and Halewood, in Merseyside, have also resumed, the company said.

“Wolverhampton is one of the first sites to restart production because it’s where we build all of the engines for JLR vehicles ahead of vehicle production taking place,” the company added.

The attack came at a crucial time for the company with the release of new 75-series number plates expected to trigger a surge in demand.

Between July and September, sales fell by 17.1% compared with the same period a year ago.

UK sales had dropped by a third, the company said.

JLR said this partly reflected the production freeze since the start of September.
