Land Rover, the British subsidiary of Ford, is to cut between 150-250 jobs at its Solihull site in the English Midlands, a company spokeswoman said today.
The spokeswoman for the four-wheel-drive off-road specialist manufacturer said the cuts were a result of a failure by Ford to secure more diesel engines from its supplier BMW, the German carmaker, which sold Land Rover to Ford.
All the redundancies will be voluntary and will take place over the next few weeks, she added in a telephone interview.
