"We've shifted our focus onto used cars, we need to keep the sales coming in," a director of one dealer group which holds JLR franchises told Automotive Management. "It's shocking to think we're in September (plate-change month) and focusing on used cars, but for some of us there's little choice." Production of Jaguar cars had already been halted at the start of this year as JLR prepares to relaunch the Jaguar brand in 2026 with all-new models. The carmaker's incident and its impact on its supply chain is being monitored by the UK Government. The business secretary Peter Kyle is set to visit JLR today to meet its executives and leaders of companies in its supply chain.
