Jaguar Land Rover is set to reduce its management workforce in the UK by up to 500 positions due to declining sales and US tariffs. The cuts, part of a voluntary redundancy scheme, account for no more than 1.5% of its UK workforce. Recent sales dips were linked to export pauses to the US and the phase-out of older models. Tariffs now range from 10% to 27.5%, impacting profitability. Despite these setbacks, JLR continues to develop its electric vehicle operations and recruit for future production lines.
Jaguar Land Rover is cutting up to 500 management roles in the UK due to falling sales and the financial effects of US import tariffs. The company employs over 30,000 people in the UK.
JLR's sales declined in the three months ending June, partly due to a pause in exports to the US caused by new tariffs imposed earlier this year. The tariffs increased from 2.5% to 10%.
Experts say the cuts reflect deeper challenges posed by international trade tensions, especially since tariffs have shifted from 2.5% to 10% and even 27.5% for some models.
Although facing challenges, JLR is expanding its electric vehicle operations and hiring for future EV lines, indicating a strategic focus on future mobility despite short-term restructuring.
