Range Rover produced under social distancing measures

The first Range Rover made under new social distancing measures has driven off the production line at Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing plant in Solihull, following the recent temporary pause in production because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Effective social distancing, hygiene and health monitoring measures are in place following an extensive review of all production lines, engineering facilities, office areas and communal spaces as the company starts a phased return to manufacturing.

Employees’ health and wellbeing are at the centre of this plan and, with the implementation of the new protocol, staff will experience a significant number of changes to their working day from the moment they enter the site.

Grant McPherson from Jaguar Land Rover said: “Seeing the first Range Rover come off our line 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.
