Land Rover is a British car brand (specifically from the manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover) which mainly releases four-wheel-drive vehicles. Its name was coined after a specific model, named Land Rover, launched in 1948. Through the succeeding years of development, they were already able to release a lineup including Range Rover Evoque, Ranger Rover Sport, Range Rover, Freelander, Discovery, and the Defender.

Although its name came in the late 40s, the brand started its operation in 1978. Many more years of operation came in and in 1994, the Rover Group was bought by BMW. Six years after, the Rover Group was split, and the Land Rover brand was acquired by Ford Motor Company, already becoming the company’s Premier Automotive Group.

1948 was the year of the designing of the original Land Rover, initiated by Maurice Wilks, the chief designer of the company. He conceptualized the first Land Rover prototype in inspiration from an American World War II Jeep and nicknamed it “Centre Steer”.

Their earliest vehicle, the Series I, was initially tested at Long Bennington. It was used by the British Army, but only the mechanical ones and not the newer electronically controlled models. In 1958, the Series II was launched, followed by the Series III in 1971. They celebrated the release of their one-millionth Land Rover in 1976.

Prior to their acquisition by BMW, Land Rover has already released the Discovery vehicle. The special edition of the vehicle was released after this. Freelander followed before Land Rover was sold to Ford at 1.8 Billion Euros.

The manufacturing plant of Land Rovers are mainly done at the Solihull plant near Birmingham. With the advancements in technology, the brand welcomed electrical technology adaption to their vehicles. Land Rover specifically uses the Integrated Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) technology to their hybrids. The UK Government even supported this technology as it has lower carbon emissions and is energy saving.
