the business and &#8220;improve efficiency and build greater resilience&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Today, we informed our colleagues, and trade union partners that JLR is opening a voluntary redundancy programme offering salaried and management team members the opportunity to leave the business,&#8221; a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We will share further information with our colleagues first.&#8221; It did not rule out the prospect of some compulsory redundancies as part of the plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said the union had been warning about a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; hanging over the automotive industry for some time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Death by a thousand cuts has been going on under the nose of successive governments,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She added there had been &#8220;intensive&#8221; discussions over the weekend about mitigating jobs losses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Reynolds was asked about the impact on the car industry of the UK&#8217;s electric vehicle sales target, which means manufacturers must ensure a percentage of the cars they sell each year are zero emissions, with the target rising each year to reach 80% by 2030.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He said one of the first things he had done as business secretary was give the industry more flexibility to work towards that and said there was a further consultation open on it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s not where it needs to be and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re willing to change the regulation to work with where consumer demand is and the industry,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He said he had also spoken with West Midlands mayor Richard Parker about supporting the business and its staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">JLR in July said fewer than 300 people would leave the firm under cost savings plans announced at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It employs about 30,000 people in its UK operations, with approximately 10,000 people employed at plants overseas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The cyber attack in September 2025 led to the shut down of all manufacturing at JLR for several weeks, meaning not a single vehicle rolled off its production lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That led to a 27% drop in overall production at the company, which is one of the West Midlands&#8217; biggest employers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The overall cost of the cyber-attack and the subsequent loss of manufacturing was estimated to be \u00a31.9bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In June, the firm announced it planned to cut about \u00a31.7bn in costs over the coming years to help towards its recovery from the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">JLR had indicated at the time that it would make the savings through cuts in areas such as materials, warranty and fixed costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><i class=\"ssrcss-xbdn93-ItalicText e5tfeyi2\">Additional reporting by Simon Jack<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
