The JLR cyberattack disrupted thousands of suppliers and slowed EV production, revealing weaknesses in payment processes across the UK automotive industry. Delays in supplier payments risk operational collapse, especially for small and mid-tier suppliers.

Modernising payment infrastructure with real-time settlements, supply chain financing, and tokenised authentication can strengthen resilience and maintain trust. Collaboration between manufacturers, fintechs, and policymakers is critical to secure cash flow and protect production schedules.

This event is a wake-up call for combining cybersecurity with smarter finance solutions to ensure the EV sector can grow safely.
