Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has said parts of its IT systems are back online amid a "phased restart" of its operations following a major cyber attack.
The British carmaker has paused production at its UK factories for several weeks after being targeted by hackers.
A spokesman for JLR said: "As part of the controlled, phased restart of our operations, today we have informed colleagues, suppliers and retail partners that sections of our digital estate are now up and running.
"The foundational work of our recovery programme is firmly under way."
The company said it was now working to clear a backlog of payments to its suppliers after increasing its processing capacity for invoices.
Its warehouse which supplies car parts for retail partners was also returning to full operations.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves was asked during a ministerial visit whether the Government was set to step in to help firms which supply JLR with components.
The Chancellor responded: "We are working very closely with Jaguar Land Rover, but not just with the company but also with the wider supply chain.
"The Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle was in the West Midlands with Jaguar Land Rover and also with many of their suppliers yesterday. It's a company I know well, it's a company the Prime Minister knows well. The National Cyber Security Centre is in with Jaguar Land Rover, and have been since this cyber attack on them.
"The focus is both getting the business back up and running as quickly as possible, but also making sure as a Government we are doing everything we can to stand by the company and the wider supply chain."
