Additionally, Jaguar sedans like XE have been provided to emergency services like West Midlands Fire Services that are also increasingly taking the lead in providing assistance to locals.
While vehicles to transport essentials are very important, the essential items themselves are at the core of the battle against Covid-19. As such, Land Rover has also put its engineering might into producing PPE visors for the country's medical fraternity through its 3D printing technology. The company states that the objective is to manufacture around 1,500 of these visors each week. (Full report here)
