Default Jaguar Land Rover Halted due to Electronic Chip Shortage

[Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is shutting its two main
car factories temporarily due to
a shortage of computer chips.
The difficulties at Britain's biggest
carmaker echo similar problems at
other manufacturers, including Ford,
who have been hit by a global shortage of chips.
JLR said there would be a "limited period" of
closure at its Halewood and Castle Bromwich
sites from Monday.
A mixture of strong demand and Covid shutdowns
at chipmakers has also hit phone,
TV and video games companies.
Tata-owned JLR said in a
statement: "We have
adjusted production schedules for
certain vehicles which means that
our Castle Bromwich and Halewood
manufacturing plants will be operating
a limited period of non-production
from Monday 26th April.
"We are working closely with affected
suppliers to resolve the issues and
minimise the impact on customer orders
wherever possible."
Production at a third factory, at Solihull, will continue.

The Castle Bromwich factory makes
the Jaguar XE, XF and F-Type models,
and employs about 1,900 people.
Halewood makes the Range Rover,
Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport,
and has about 4,000 workers.]
