Land Rover is supplying 49 of its vehicles to the Highways Agency, the organisation responsible for maintaining and operating England’s motorways and major ‘A’ roads. We all know that Land Rovers are usually good for a few miles and six figure readings on the odometer are nothing to be worried about. But how about an 18 month old Discovery with 213,000 miles on the clock? ~That’s the average for the current fleet of Highways Agency vehicles that are being replaced with 49 brand new Disco 3s Land Rovers are selected by the Highways Agency for their towing and load carrying capabilities, good all round visibility and their capacity to cope with adverse weather, such as snow, ice or floods. The current fleet were used intensively in recent months to cope with the floods. To accompany the sale Land Rover also provide 'Adverse Weather Conditions Driving Courses’ at Land Rover Experience centres to ensure that all officers have the knowledge and ability to use the vehicles safely and effectively, and in all weather conditions. "The training programme has been specially developed with the needs of the Traffic Officers in mind and has been designed to ensure that Officers are ready to cope with the worst that the British weather can throw at them." Land Rover works with emergency services, police, and ambulance teams across the country. The company supplies a quarter of the global aid agency market and is involved in numerous important conservation programmes worldwide, which are hugely beneficial to local communities. Without the use of Land Rovers, some of their rescue missions or emergency operations would be impossible. Words: Simon Ward-Hastelow |
