On the heels of the release of Tata Jaguar rover, the company has taken a stringent action. They have decided to end the production of its X-Type car by the end of 2009. It would be seeking voluntary redundancies at its factory in Halewood, Merseyside, which is also to close for three weeks as part of an extended shutdown starting in September because of "ongoing weaknesses" in the industry.

The decision will result in the loss of job for 300 employees. Jaguar Land rover"s retail sales fell by 28 per cent in the past 10 months. Therefore they have taken unprecedented actions to cut costs including reduced production volumes, significant cuts to investment plans and some 2,200 job losses. Further actions will be determined by the state of the market.

Halewood currently employs around 2,000 workers and is a major employer on Merseyside.
