JLR Cyber Attack Update: Phased Production Restart Underway

JLR has confirmed that it has finally resumed production at its UK manufacturing plants in a phased manner. This follows several weeks of restricted recovery after a cyber attack impacted IT systems and halted car assembly across multiple locations. A phased return will enable stable and secure build up to full scale while supporting product quality as well as data integrity.

Sharing his thoughts on the latest update, Adrian Mardell, CEO of JLR, said, “This week marks an important moment for JLR and all our stakeholders as we now restart our manufacturing operations following the cyber incident. From tomorrow, we will welcome back our colleagues at our engine production plant in Wolverhampton, shortly followed by our colleagues making our world‑class cars at Nitra and Solihull. Our suppliers are central to our success, and today we are launching a new financing arrangement that will enable us to pay our suppliers early, using the strength of our balance sheet to support their cashflows.”

The carmaker will first focus on scaling up the production of core models such as the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender, with other models expected to follow as systems are fully restored.

Supplier Financing Scheme Launched

Jaguar Land Rover, in partnership with banks and financial institutions, has rolled out a Supplier Pay financing scheme that will allow suppliers to utilise early payments at reduced financing costs. This initiative aims to ease liquidity pressure across JLR’s supply chain and ensure uninterrupted component flow as factories scale back to normal levels.

JLR stressed that this action forms part of a broader plan to reinforce supplier relationships and to also counter additional financial pressure in the aftermath of the recent cyber disruption.

Production is back up and running while putting supplier support measures in place, wherein they work with all their suppliers so that normal delivery schedules can be restored as soon as possible.
