The first Range Rover made under social distance measures produced in May

The first ever Land Rover product built during social distancing has left the Jaguar Land Rover factory in Solihull. The measures put in place leave nothing to chance and guarantee the safety of the Jaguar and Land Rover employees working at the plant. The first production Range Rover to leave the plant is a testament to the fact that life continues at the factory after a temporary pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


Grant McPherson, Jaguar Land Rover Executive Director, Manufacturing, said: “Seeing the first Range Rover come off our line today is a defining moment for Jaguar Land Rover, for all of us who work for the company and the many businesses in our supply chain. It marks the end of our temporary shutdown and signals the beginning of a return to normality. But, of course, this is a new normal.


“People will be experiencing many emotions, ranging from worry about hygiene to relief at being able to return to work and excitement at seeing colleagues again. The health and wellbeing of our employees has been our primary concern in the build-up to this point. Throughout the coming months, I know that as a team we will do all we can to ‘Stay safe. Be kind. Stay well’.”
