LONDON, Oct 6 — British carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will reportedly resume partial manufacturing production on Monday as it continues to recover from a major cyber attack, reported German Press Agency (dpa).
According to the BBC, manufacturing processes will initially resume at JLR’s engine factory in Wolverhampton.
It comes after the group said some sections of its production operations would commence amid a “controlled, phased restart of its operations.”
JLR paused all manufacturing at the start of September after being targeted by hackers.
The group had recently extended the production pause until at least October 1 after its systems were hacked, impacting its factories in Halewood on Merseyside and Solihull in the West Midlands, as well as its Wolverhampton engine manufacturing site.
JLR has been contacted for comment.
Experts have warned that the production shutdown could hit the group’s bottom line by around £120 million (US$161 million), with the firm usually thought to build about 1,000 cars a day.
The pause has also left its suppliers in limbo, leading to calls for urgent financial support, with the UK government announcing it would underwrite a £1.5 billion (US$2.02 billion) loan guarantee to JLR to give suppliers some certainty over payments.
The loan, from a commercial bank, will help to bolster JLR’s cash reserves as it pays back companies in its supply chain, who have been significantly impacted by the shutdown.
Unions and politicians have raised fears that small suppliers producing parts for the car giant could collapse without financial support.
JLR has the largest supply chain in the UK automotive sector, which employs around 120,000 people and is largely made up of small and medium-sized businesses.
In the aftermath of the attack on August 31, ministers have been in contact daily with JLR and cyberexperts, as the company seeks to restart production.
Downing Street said it had been “a concerning time for workers at Jaguar Land Rover and, of course, across the supply chain.”
A raft of other businesses have been hit by major cyber attacks in recent months, including beer giant Asahi, high street retailer Marks & Spencer and nursery group Kido Schools. — Bernama-PA Media/dpa
