Employees at the Jaguar-Land Rover group’s Halewood Operations in Merseyside, UK, recently celebrated the production of 300,000th Land Rover Freelander 2. The landmark came five years and seven months after production of the SUV commenced in October 2006.
The milestone vehicle is a 2.2 litre Diesel model finished in Barolo Black destined for a customer in Brazil, which has proved to be one of the British brand’s fastest growing markets.
During a ceremony at the plant, Halewood Operations Director Richard Else, said: “I’d like to congratulate the Halewood team for reaching this superb milestone and also sustaining the highest quality standards on Freelander 2, during the Range Rover Evoque launch period. Freelander was Land Rover’s biggest selling model last year retailing around 52,000 units globally.”
