JLR said that it would cut 2,000 jobs from its global salaried workforce, just days after announcing its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and e-models of its entire lineup will be launched by 2030, according to Reuters report.
“The full review of the Jaguar Land Rover organisation is already underway,” the company said in an emailed statement.
“We anticipate a net reduction of around 2,000 people from our global salaried workforce in the next financial year,” it said.
However, it added that the organisational review did not impact hourly paid, manufacturing employees.
Jaguar Land Rover, owned by India’s Tata Motors, said earlier that its Land Rover brand will launch six fully electric models over the next five years, with the first in 2024.
Last month, Tata Motors said it was concerned by semiconductor shortages and Brexit-related supply disruptions as its luxury car sales recover, although the Indian automaker added these had not yet hit production.
The 2,000 reduction in JLR’s non-factory jobs was reported earlier by Sky News.
