JLR, however, has already informed staff and trade union partners about the voluntary scheme, which will offer salaried and management team members the opportunity to leave the business.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>The company has said it needs to save approximately \u00a31.7 billion over the next two years as it seeks to adapt to \u201cevolving global market conditions\u201d. It is also targeting a reduction in its break-even point to 300,000 vehicles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>JLR targets \u00a31.7bn in savings<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A JLR spokesperson said the company had strengthened its \u201chouse of brands\u201d and transformed its product portfolio over the past three years, but now needs to make further changes to improve efficiency.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>\u201cOver the past three years, we have strengthened our house of brands and transformed our product portfolio for the next generation,\u201d JLR said in a statement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cAs we deliver the next phase of our strategy we must adapt to evolving global market conditions while targeting approximately \u00a31.7 billion of savings over the next two years and reduce break-evens to 300,000 vehicles,\u201d it said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cTo achieve this, we must further simplify our organisation, improve efficiency and build greater resilience,\u201d the company added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>JLR said it had informed its employees and trade union partners about the voluntary redundancy programme and would provide further information to its colleagues first.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Reports have suggested that around 4,000 employees could eventually lose their jobs, although JLR has not independently confirmed the figure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The company employs around 34,000 people across its three manufacturing sites in England and supports a further 120,000 British jobs through its supply chain.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Announcement comes a year after major cyber attack<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The proposed redundancies come almost exactly a year after JLR was hit by a major cyber attack that forced it to suspend manufacturing operations for several weeks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The disruption meant that the company was unable to produce vehicles during the shutdown and contributed to a 27% drop in production. The overall cost of the cyberattack was later estimated at around \u00a31.9 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The incident has added to the pressures facing JLR as it attempts to recover from a difficult period for the global automotive industry.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to impose a 10% tariff on UK car imports to one of JLR\u2019s key markets has also affected the company\u2019s global operations and sales.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>North America accounts for around 29% of JLR\u2019s global sales, making the region particularly important to the luxury carmaker. The company is also facing growing competition from a new wave of more affordable Chinese car brands, which have put pressure on traditional manufacturers across global markets.<span

JLR\u2019s luxury brands while navigating a difficult global market.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>The proposed workforce reduction is part of a wider effort to simplify the

will be an uncertain and concerning time for affected workers, their families and wider communities.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"77\"\/>The government also pointed to measures it has taken to support the UK automotive industry, including efforts to reduce electricity costs for manufacturers, \u00a34 billion in capital and R&amp;D funding for zero-emission vehicle manufacturing and a \u00a32 billion electric car grant aimed at encouraging consumers to buy EVs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"80\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><keyword id=\"258222\" type=\"General\"

to the pressure on Andy Burnham, who recently pledged to \u201creindustrialise\u201d Britain after becoming Prime Minister.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"84\"\/>JLR remains a major employer and supports tens of thousands of additional jobs through its supply chain, making any large-scale workforce reduction significant for the UK\u2019s manufacturing sector.<span
