Currently reading: JLR order book rises to more than 205,000 cars

But Tata-owned British firm is increasing production as it pushes to reverse £524m loss

The launch of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport has increased Jaguar Land Rover’s sales by over 9000 units in the latest financial quarter, but also added to the worldwide orders book of more than 205,000 cars.

Along with the popular Land Rover Defender, the three models account for more than 145,000 cars in the company's order book, which grew by almost 5000 units in the second quarter. JLR said it is being hampered by parts shortages, especially a lack of semiconductors.
