You take the biscuit for coming out with shite . There is a downturn in sales mainly diesel related which is the cause. Roll on next March.
No they haven't, they have moved the new discovery model to Slovakia so the U.K. plant that built the discovery, will now build the electric powered Range rover with additional investment in existing plants and models in the U.K. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/production-shake-land-rover-it-readies-new-range-rover JLR investing in the U.K.'s future 1 duke talking his usual made up shite 0
there is lots on it. https://www.google.com/search?q=jlr+brexit&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b most smart business wouldn't put to much emphasis on brexit for the main reasons for downsizing, job loses, withholding investment etc, it alienates half of their potential costumers straight off the bat.
If I am not wrong JLR was considering moving facilities to Slovakia even before the Brexit vote. They build f'ck all now. Fact is they laid off 1000 workers in UK and employed 1000's in Slovakia. What they intend to do in the future..we can discuss when it happens. UK car industry investment. 2015 -2.5bn 2017-1.1bn 2018- 0,8bn expected No worries, China is ready to invest big monies in UK..in exchange for what?
Yep but as you've seen, many companies are using brexit as an excuse to shore up their business's and then blame brexit. The biggest excuse that has never been a brexit related issue is the lying and therefore distrust of the motor industry around diesel gate but the biggest is the substantial sales drop in diesels (jlr had a 90% diesel vehicle rate) due to the forthcoming hybrid/electric car laws I think we have different interpretations of fuck all http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sales-data/land-rover/ well yes and no. I've seen an awful lot claim "upto" but very few saying they have laid off a thousand. Unfortunate if you are one but those effected have been agency staff which were I seem to recall, are used at times of peak and trough and there is no doubt the move away from diesel more than anything else has impacted most car companies. You can't have your cake and eat it chap, nowhere does it give the slovakian staffing levels or the size of the plant, or the amount of new discoveries they will build so I'm puzzled where you got that assumption from but again it has you saying "this is fact" but also "lets see what happens" with the same content Could you post up the link those figures come from? We have lots of companies and countries wanting to invest in the U.K. no matter what the remainers say, but my guess is when it comes to the Chinese, they want our Wotsits
OOoo as vehicles have been mentioned, The company who installs and operates charging stations for electric vehicles, Chargemaster, was bought by BP this week for £130 million with the intent to install many electric charge points on their forecourts for when diesel and petrol go. It will be interesting because currently when the electric lovies quote price per charge they tend to use domestic electricity prices but Charge master has been shown to be charging many times the electric standard rate https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ations-oil-company-chargemaster-a8421056.html http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...ublic-charging-four-times-expensive-home.html
UK Car/Commercail/Engine Manufacture Some figures that show a decline in sales in home market has perhaps been the key reason for production. This has absolutely been about the Diesel issues and fear of future taxation and limitations in city centre driving. I've just selected another plug in hybrid company car as the tax on a diesel would be prohibitive. Some production numbers are at record highs. Over 1.67m cars were built in the UK in 2017. Car exports remain at historically high level, with 1.33m shipped worldwide – 79.9% of total production. Over half of these exports were to the European Union. British engine manufacturing is at record-ever levels, with 2.72m produced, up 6.9% on 2016. https://www.smmt.co.uk/vehicle-data/manufacturing/ Apologies to those that don't like facts.....
A non Brexit related food shortage horror story for you here, although given the recent hysteria regarding where we'll get our food from when we leave the EU, it seems across the Atlantic is ok....when it comes to lettuce, it's just like magic HUZZAH https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jun/30/lettuce-crops-flop-as-britain-wilts-in-hot-weather Quote : However, supermarkets may fill the gaps with lettuce from across the Atlantic. Sourcing salad ingredients from southern Europe was not possible because they were also affected by the high temperatures.
I read all the briefs at work not available to the hoi polloi. It's a bad habit I know. I must start listening to the doom laden mainstream media, Dukey and Finm to make sure I stay correctly informed from now on.
Agree, if you want anyone to send you to the Samaritans, dukes your man. Although they have put a restraining order on him ringing personally.
