But JLR has been particularly slow to recover, a situation made all the more frustrating by the fact that it has an incredibly healthy order book of more than 205,000 cars.

The firm has made some headway in its search for a long-term solution, however. Last month it announced a deal with U.S.-based Wolfspeed to buy silicone carbide semiconductors that will be used in the company’s next-generation EVs from 2024.
