De reputatie van Lotus Cars als bedrijf dat de ene crisis na de andere doormaakt, lijkt ook onder het Chinese eigendom van Geely niet te verdwijnen. Het bedrijf heeft tegenover de BBC bevestigd dat het zijn personeelsbestand op het hoofdkantoor in Hethel met meer dan 40% zal inkrimpen. Het bedrijf noemt Amerikaanse invoerheffingen, stijgende kosten en een afnemende vraag als de belangrijkste oorzaken.<\/p>

De fabrikant van sportauto's heeft bevestigd dat er 550 banen zullen verdwijnen bij het Europese hoofdkantoor, waar ongeveer 1300 mensen werken. De bezuinigingen komen slechts enkele maanden nadat in februari 270 ontslagen werden aangekondigd.<\/p>
