Since the Land Rover company was formed over 60 years ago, their vehicles have always had a unique relationship with our planet. Indeed, they continue to be used by explorers, conservationists, environmentalists and scientists all over the planet, for the benefit of our world. Designed to be fit for purpose, many are in use in conditions that are just too tough for other vehicles.
