Land Rover

Land Rover is a British car manufacturer, manufacturing four wheel drive cars. It is the second oldest four wheel drive car manufacturers after Jeep. Land Rover was under various ownership and leadership changes. It was acquired by Tata Motors in the year 2008 from Ford Motors. It is still designed and manufactured in England. However, Tata Motors is planning to start a plant in China to cut costs and improve sales. Land Rover vehicles have been used by British Defense and it still sells some of the models for Military purposes. Apart from this, they manufacture engines. Freelander 2 is manufactured in Pune plant in India and there is two-fold increase in sales of Jaguar and Land Rover models worldwide, particularly in India. The increase in sale of cars from this unit of Tata Motors has turned out to be a worthy acquisition in terms of profitability.
