LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover’s Brexit-related production shutdown at its UK plants will leave the automaker short of cars to sell in its current financial quarter.
The week-long shutdown, which started Nov. 4, was planned to offset any potential disruption of parts supplies if the UK left the European Union on Oct. 31 without a trade deal. The EU gave the UK an extension to Jan. 31.
The shutdown will cost JLR the production of 12,000 cars, Adrian Mardell, chief financial officer, told financial analysts on an Oct. 31 earnings call.
