JLR was forced to reduce its production last year, with a decline in sales, partly because of the decline in interest for diesel vehicles.
Car manufacturers face a number of Brexit-related risks, including delays, new customs bureaucracy, the need to recertify models and tariffs of up to 10% for finished vehicles. The Mini and Rolls-Royce factories are also closed this week, as is the Peugeot plant at Vauxhall. Honda also scheduled six "no production days" in April, but declined to say exactly when they will be held.
Generally, the cessation of activity has been organized for a long time, so that employee vacations can be stable and that suppliers have the opportunity to adjust the quantities shipped.
Since 2017, the UK automotive sector has seen a sharp decline in sales, production and investment.
While British political leaders fail to reach a consensus on Brexit and some member states are challenging another postponement of the UK's exit from the EU, Culture Minister Jeremy Wright said that He would continue discussions with the opposition Labor Party to find a compromise solution.
Owned overwhelmingly by the United Kingdom, the British auto industry is the result of an attractive and stable investment environment, affected by a deep political crisis that could hurt trade.
