Jaguar Land Rover announced on Monday that it will gradually restart production at its UK factories after a cyberattack forced a complete halt to operations, News.Az reports, citing AFP. "As the controlled, phased restart of our operations continues, we are taking further steps towards our recovery," JLR said in a statement. It employs 34,000 people directly in its UK operations, with factories in England's West Midlands and northwest. The government recently warned of "significant impact" from the cyberattack following an emergency meeting with UK car trade body SMMT. A trade agreement between London and Washington reduced the tariff on UK car exports to 10 percent from 27.5 percent, on a limit of 100,000 vehicles annually.
