The boss of Jaguar Land Rover’s parent company, Tata Motors, has warned lengthy shutdowns of its factories cannot be ruled out.
Jaguar Land Rover, which launches its important new XJ model this week, has so far avoided the kind of lengthy shutdowns introduced by other carmakers in the UK, notably Honda.
The company continues to be in talks with the Government about loan guarantees to help it through the worst of the current slump in car sales.
