Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has confirmed it is cutting 4,500 jobs, with the substantial majority coming from its 40,000 strong UK workforce.
Most of the cuts will be in office roles as the company wants to simplify its management structure.It adds to last year's announcement of 1,500 job cuts.
JLR, the UK's biggest vehicle maker, is planning a voluntary redundancy programme to help manage its latest round of departures.
The firm, which is owned by Indian conglomerate Tata, made a £90m pre-tax loss in the three months to September 30, a major reversal from the £385m profit of the previous year.
"We are taking decisive action to help deliver long-term growth, in the face of multiple geopolitical and regulatory disruptions as well as technology challenges facing the automotive industry," said JLR's chief executive, Ralf Speth.
"This will safeguard our future and enable vital ongoing investment into autonomous, connected, electric and shared technologies."
