Jaguar Land Rover aids in global fight against COVID-19

Jaguar and Land Rover have deployed more than 160 vehicles globally to support emergency response organisations during the COVID-19 crisis.

A total of 57 vehicles, including 27 Defenders, have been issued to the British Red Cross to deliver medicine and food to vulnerable people across the U.K. who now need additional support due to social distancing rules.

Jaguar and Land Rover teams in Spain, France, South Africa and Australia have also loaned vehicles to their Red Cross societies, and more markets are offering help to their local teams.

Jaguar Land Rover is also working closely with the U.K. government and has offered its research and engineering expertise, as well as its digital engineering and design, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science support.

Protective equipment is also being donated to the U.K. National Health Service, including wraparound safety glasses to the Royal Bolton Hospital, St James's Hospital in Leeds and Birmingham Children's Hospital.
