Autoindustrie: Jaguar Land Rover streicht 4000 Stellen
Der britische Luxusautobauer leidet an der China-Konkurrenz, US-Zöllen und schwacher Nachfrage. Nun soll an Personal gespart werden. Mit Staatshilfe kann der Konzern nicht rechnen.
London - Jaguar Land Rover, the British car manufacturer, has announced plans to cut 4,000 jobs over the next two years, according to a report by the British news agency PA. The company aims to save around £1.7 billion (approximately €2 billion) through these measures, BBC sources indicate. Globally, the company employs about 43,000 people, with the majority based in the United Kingdom.
Jaguar Land Rover's CEO, P.B. Balaji, stated to PA that the automobile industry is facing significant challenges, including technological change amidst fierce competition and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
The company is grappling with rising costs and declining sales figures, similar to other European automakers. Additionally, it must contend with tariffs in the United States, which is its biggest export market. Chinese manufacturers like BYD and Chery Automobile are pushing affordable electric and hybrid models into the market. Jaguar Land Rover's job cuts join measures taken by Renault, BMW, and Volkswagen, which recently secured approval for a program to eliminate an additional 50,000 positions at its Wolfsburg headquarters.
This restructuring aligns with a trend seen across the industry, as companies like Jaguar Land Rover strive to adapt to changing market conditions and maintain profitability in a competitive landscape.
