Jaguar Land Rover opens new factory in Brazil
14/06/2016
Jaguar Land Rover’s new factory in Itatiaia is also the company’s first wholly-owned overseas facility and marks a further phase in a global expansion strategy, following the opening of a joint-venture facility in China in 2014.
The new facility will build both the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport for Brazilian customers. Vehicles will be on sale through dealers across Brazil before the end of this first month of production there.
The plant includes an education centre that will provide a range of classroom activities for up to 12,000 local children each year. The factory also includes a series of environmental features, such as rainwater collection and the planting of more than 1,200 indigenous trees to help preserve and improve the natural habitat around the factory.
