Close Jaguar UK Factory UK Jaguar will be made in China?


Morning News (Reporter Ma Xiaosen) The old British car Jaguar may join the ranks of Chinese manufacturers. Ford announced on Friday that it will close a Jaguar factory in the UK because of high costs and sales decline. Jia Xinguang, chief analyst of China Automotive Industry Consulting and Development Co., Ltd. analyzed the matter and Jaguar may be transferred to China for production. Ford (China) did not give a positive answer yesterday, but told this reporter that this move will not affect Jaguar's sales in China. At present, Jaguar has five dealerships in China and will increase to 18 by the end of this year, because Jaguar’s sales in China are growing very fast. Jia Xinguang said that if Jaguar is produced in China, it is likely to be a new Nanjing plant in Ford and Changan. Because Jaguar is an upscale luxury car and will not be mass-produced, Ford will not build a production base for Jaguar. Ford's Chongqing plant in China is too small. If this speculation is correct, then, together with the Rover that will be put into production in Shanghai, there will be two older British cars added to the Chinese-made camp. Jaguar, also known as the Jaguar, was listed in 1922 and is an old brand of luxury cars and sports cars that the British are proud of. In 1990 belonged to Ford. The factory closed this time is where Jaguar was born. In August of this year, Jaguar’s sales in the United States fell by 38.3%. Ford management said that in order to reduce losses, only surplus factories and production lines can be shut down. Jaguar’s production this year will drop by 15,000.
