Jaguar Cuts X-Type Production

Falling worldwide sales of the Jaguar X-Type – down 29 per cent in the first three months – have led Jaguar to reduce production of the luxury model. No X-Types were produced last week at the Halewood plant, which employs 2,300 people and, although production resumed this week, next week will see only three days of production. A Jaguar spokesman said that jobs were not in danger and that next year will see Land Rover’s new Freelander vehicle being manufactured at Halewood.
