London: Jaguar Land Rover will axe around 4,500 jobs, the Indian-owned carmaker announced Thursday, with the group hit by a slump in Chinese sales and fears about Britain's competitiveness after Brexit.
"Jaguar Land Rover is expanding a business-wide organisation review aimed at reducing the size of its global workforce by around 4,500 people," the company said in a statement. "This is in addition to the 1,500 who left the company during 2018."
