LONDON (Reuters) – Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is set to cut more jobs in Britain as it moves all production of its Discovery car to lower-cost Slovakia before building its new Range Rover at an English factory.

Britain’s biggest automaker, JLR has previously said its next-generation Discovery will be built at its Slovakia plant and on Monday announced there could be some job cuts in Britain as a result.

“The potential losses of some agency employed staff in the UK is a tough one but forms part of our long-term manufacturing strategy as we transform our business globally,” the company said in a statement.

Moving production from Britain will slash several thousands of pounds off the cost per vehicle, the firm’s Chief Finance Officer Ken Gregor said last year....

When Rovers and Jags were built in Britain by the British they were shit. It took Ford and Tata to make them world class cars that are reliable and worth owning. Slovakia is a step up.

BTW the Solihull plant has been living on borrowed time and subsidies to stay alive. It should have been shut down years ago.

I particularly love the comment

I think we should clone and repopulate the Extict European Jagaur, maybe it would fix the muslim immigrant problem.

It is so much harder putting the smoke back into the wiring than it was letting it out.
