Exposed: Engineers ‘locked in factory’ to finish ‘unsafe’ electric car


Whistleblower says they were sacked by Jaguar Land Rover for exposing flaws

Engineers working for the sister company of Jaguar Land Rover were locked in a Vietnamese factory in a rush to get an “unsafe” car to market, whistleblowers have told The Times. One worker, who claimed he was sacked by Jaguar Land Rover after raising concerns about the electric cars, said he feared the vehicles had “critical” safety faults. Denli described a “rushed” development process and said staff were under so much pressure to produce the car that engineers in Vietnam were locked in the factory overnight to force them to keep working.
