Jaguar Land Rover Deploys Over 160 Vehicles to Tackle COVID-19

On a global basis, Jaguar and Land Rover have deployed over 160 vehicles to support the efforts of emergency response organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jaguar Land Rover has contributed a total of 57 vehicles including 27 New Land Rover Defender SUVs to the British Red Cross. These vehicles will be used for making deliveries of medicine and food to vulnerable people across the UK who are in need of additional support due to the requirements of home quarantine and social distancing.

Other countries in which Jaguar and Land Rover teams have loaned their vehicles to Red Cross societies include Spain, France, South Africa and Australia. May more markets are likely to receive support from their local teams and the fleets of vehicles that are being provided are now available due to the postponement of launch events.

Jaguar Land Rover is also collaborating closely with the UK government and has offered its expertise in various areas including research, engineering, digital engineering and design, printing of 3D models and prototypes, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science support to support government efforts to stem this crisis.

Finbar McFall, Jaguar Land Rover Customer Experience Director said that the health and safety of its employees, customers and their families continues to be their top priority. He said that Jaguar and Land Rover would do everything it can to support people in need around the world.

McFall concluded, “Our partnership with the Red Cross goes back 65 years and we will work hand in hand with them to do all we can during this global health emergency. We will also provide help to those closer to home in our local communities. We can all play a part in helping the vulnerable during this global pandemic.”
