Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plans to cut hundreds of jobs, less than a year after a cyber attack brought production to a halt for more than a month.
In a statement, the firm said: "Impacted colleagues will be supported to find alternative roles wherever possible, alongside the option of voluntary early exit."
The company said it expected fewer than 300 people would leave the firm under the plans.
JLR, which has its global headquarters at Whitley and manufacturing sites in Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Halewood on Merseyside, employs about 30,000 people in its UK operations, with approximately 10,000 people employed at plants overseas.
A cyberattack in September 2025 closed all manufacturing for five months and meant not a single vehicle rolled off production lines.
That led to a 27% drop in overall production at the company, which is one of the biggest employers in the West Midlands.
It also came as the firm halted production of its Jaguar cars, before a relaunch of a series of all-electric saloons.
JLR continued to build the Land Rover and Range Rover brands, but the cyber-attack took those lines down.
