#Halewood

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it has built its one-millionth vehicle at the company’s Halewood manufacturing facility.

The first overnight shift at Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) Halewood, England plant started at 9:30pm on Monday, sparked by a large demand for the Range Rover Evoque. 

Because the 4th of July is just another weekday in the British Empire, Land Rover employees were busy setting up the production line at the factory near Liverpool. The very first example will go towards the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, and the next 18,000 examples have already been spoken for.

Jaguar Land Rover owner Tata Motorsw says it will close either a Jaguar or Land Rover factory in England by 2014. The decision as to which of the company’s three U.K. plants will be shuddered has not yet been made, but Tata has said which two are on the chopping block.
