Jaguar Land Rover to give us a break on prices

London-Jaguar Land Rover will arouse the expeditions of his cars manufactured in Britain in the United States for a month, he said on Saturday, when she considers how to alleviate the cost of the 25% rate of President Donald Trump.

Jaguar Land Rover, who belongs to Tata Motors of India, confirmed the temporary export suspension after the Journal du Times reported the plan.

“While we work to resolve new commercial terms with our business partners, we take short-term actions, including a shipping break in April, while we are developing our medium-term plans,” JLR said in a statement sent by email.

The British automotive industry, which employs 200,000 people directly, is very exposed to new prices. The United States is the second largest importer of British manufacturing cars after the European Union, with almost 20%, the data from the body of the SMMT industry show.

Jaguar Land Rover, one of the largest British producers per volume, said in his declaration that the United States was an important market for its luxury brands. It sells 400,000 sports Range Rover, defenders and other models each year and exports to the American account for almost a quarter of sales.

The 25% American price on imported cars and light trucks entered into force on April 3, the day after Trump’s publication on prices on other goods from the world.

Great Britain said it was attempted to conclude a trade agreement with Washington.

The Times said Jaguar Land Rover is already a few months old in the United States, which will not be subject to new prices.
