Car giant JLR has revealed a recovery in sales over the past quarter after restarting production following the impact of a major cyber attack.
The UK’s largest car manufacturer said it sold 95,300 vehicles to dealers in the three months to March 31st, surging 61.1% compared with the previous quarter.
JLR, which is owned by India’s Tata, was forced to halt production across its UK factories for five weeks from September 1st last year due to a cyber-attack, weighing on sales in late 2025.
It's UK factories include: Solihull, Halewood, Castle Bromwich and Wolverhampton.
Nevertheless, quarterly sales to dealers were still 14.5% lower than the same quarter a year earlier amid disruption from the cyber incident, the impact of US tariffs, market challenges in China and the planned wind down of legacy Jaguar models.
