With the economic crisis looming darker each passing day, Jaguar and Land Rover are having quite a hard time attempting to vend luxury vehicles, and parent company Tata Motors is appealing for a large loan to keep the British Brands operational. Overall, Tata is asking £1 billion from the British government to assist it pay off the bills. That is practically huge sum bearing in mind that it corresponds to £67,000 for each of the British brands’ 15,000 employees in the UK. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is reported to be nearing a decision concerning the loan, though it’s expected that the funds would come with a condition that looks after workers in the UK.There is a suspicion that sales at Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles are in a truly awful shape, but the fact is no one really knows how bad things have developed into. Tata Motors has ceased furnishing US sales data for its troubled luxury brands.
