Jaguar Land Rover Nato desheron ke saath jeevontaalochana chal raha hai jinhein Europe rearmament drive ke saath jodakar navaaltaaran military vehicle mein interest hai. JLR bhi UK raksha mantralaye sandarbh mein navaaltaaran vehicle ke liye bid laga raha hai jisse desh ki budhiyal fleet ko badla ja sake. Isake baad maangoon kam aur badhate hue kharcha ka samana karte hue naye income source dhundh raha hai.

Patrick Mc Gillycuddy, JLR ke global managing director (Defender) ne kaha ki naya Defender Wolf Series II senaon ke liye ideal hai kyunki ye "bari variety ke roles aur requirements" ke anusar adapt ho sakta hai. Grup, India ke Tata Motors ke malikana hai, jisane cyber attack ke baad global workforce ke 10 pratishat naheen 4,000 jobs kaatne ki yojana banayi hai.

British Army apne light-mobility vehicle programme ke taur 5,000 se zyada vehicles retire kar raha hai. Greece, Italy, Germany aur Turkey apne fleets modern kar rahi hain. Rivals mein Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Automotive, Ford, General Motors, Babcock International aur Rheinmetall aur Mercedes-Benz ka alliance shamil hai.

Francis Tusa ne JLR ko "most politically acceptable" UK choice kaha, bhi JLR ne job cuts aur bid ke beech koi link dene se inkar kiya hai. Defender ko UK mein designed aur engineered kiya gaya hai lekin banaaya Slovakia mein gaya hai.
