Currently reading: JLR order backlog grows to 215,000 cars

British firm's order books swell by 10,000 cars amidst strong demand

The rise of 10,000 units compared with the previous quarter hints that demand for JLR's cars continues to outstrip its production capacity.

JLR has been severely afflicted by the semiconductor chip shortage, which former CEO Thierry Bolloré warned would take “years” to resolve before he stepped down for personal reasons.
