Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced plans to cut around 300 jobs as part of a cost-saving initiative following a significant cyber attack in September 2025. The attack halted production for five weeks, leading to a 27% drop in overall production and an estimated £1.9 billion in losses. Affected employees will be offered alternative roles or voluntary redundancy, but production line workers will not be impacted. The company aims to save £1.7 billion to recover from the attack and is transitioning to a new range of all-electric vehicles. The cyber attack severely affected JLR's profit, which plummeted by 99% from the previous year. JLR's restructuring comes amid broader industry challenges, including rising competition and fluctuating demand for electric vehicles.
