Jaguar Land Rover has started a phased restart of its factories, more than a month after a major cyber-attack shut production.
The company said operations would resume this week at key sites in the West Midlands, including Wolverhampton and Solihull.
Plants in Nitra, Slovakia, will follow shortly, while an update on Halewood in Merseyside is expected soon.
Sales dropped 17% in the last quarter as shutdowns, US tariffs, and Jaguar model changes hit output.
“Our recovery is firmly under way,” said CEO Adrian Mardell. “There’s much more to do, but this is an important moment.”
JLR also launched a new financing scheme to pay suppliers faster and stabilize cash flow during the restart.
The UK government has pledged a £1.5bn loan guarantee to support the wider supply chain, still waiting for full access.
Business secretary Peter Kyle called the restart “welcome news,” but warned many smaller suppliers remain under pressure.
