Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a British-based car company, said it will cut 4,000 jobs, accounting for about 10% of its global workforce. The Jaguar Land Rover is battling fierce competition from lower-priced Chinese rivals, cyberattacks and U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

"CNBC" reported that the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover is the Indian automaker "Tata Motors". The company stated that it aims to save approximately 1.7 billion pounds (approximately NT$72.9 billion) in the next two years, while reducing the breakeven point to 300,000 vehicles.

Jaguar Land Rover CEO PB Balaji said the company will launch five new products in the next 12 months. Balaji said in a statement: "The automotive industry is facing significant challenges, as technology is changing rapidly amid fierce competition and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty."

He added: "As part of this transformation, we will reduce our global workforce by approximately 4,000 positions over the next two years. We know this will be sad news for those affected and we are committed to supporting everyone in a caring, fair and respectful manner."

Jaguar's cost-cutting move is seen as another test for British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, after British luxury carmakers Aston Martin and Bentley announced similar cost-saving measures in recent months.

British Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds ruled out the possibility of the British government bailing out Jaguar Land Cruiser over the weekend and is expected to meet with the company's top executives early this week to discuss layoffs.

The British government launches economic innovation measures to reduce the burden on enterprises and activate local economies

The British government launched economic reform measures on September 7, trying to break growth bottlenecks and boost market vitality by reducing the burden on enterprises, relaxing supervision on science and technology innovation, and activating local economies. Chancellor of the Exchequer Healey announced a quarter of the compliance administrative burden on businesses, saving the business community billions of pounds in costs every year. The UK will launch a new regulatory sandbox mechanism to provide a relaxed testing environment for cutting-edge technologies such as smart distribution equipment, innovative medical therapies, and maritime autonomous driving. At the same time, the "Northern 500" development plan was launched and a special fund of 150 million pounds was established to focus on supporting high-quality growing small and medium-sized enterprises in northern England and alleviate the over-concentration of resources in London.
