The restructuring plan in Lotus was called “vital”: the company will redistribute resources to increase efficiency, but will remain “completely committed to development in the UK”.
Production at the factory in the British Norfolk will continue, despite mass reductions. At the same time, Lotus considers the ability to put other brands on the local conveyor.

The site has not released a single sports car since mid -May. The work was suspended to solve problems with logistics caused by the imported duties of the United States, and in the summer it could not be restrained. According to the plan, production will be restored in early September.
