JLR, in a statement sent to Autocar, acknowledged the issue, citing its commitment to becoming carbon-net-zero across its supply chain and operations by 2039. As part of this transition, JLR is streamlining parts distribution from multiple locations into one global super center. Unfortunately, this restructuring has resulted in temporary delays in parts delivery to its retailers. The company is working closely with its distribution partner, Unipart, to swiftly address the problem and restore normal service for its clients.
Woolliscroft expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation, labeling it “unacceptable” and noting that it had “nearly stopped workshops from being able to operate.” JLR anticipates that it will take approximately six weeks before the problem starts to ease.
