Last week we looked at Jaguar Land Rover's 'Plan for Sustainability.' Yesterday, we looked at Land Rover's e_Terrain technologies. Today, we have two videos that tie the two together.

Jaguar Land Rover has officially opened its first assembly plant in India. The facility is located at Pune in the Maharashtra region and will assemble the Freelander 2 for the Indian market, which are supplied as "complete knock-down" (CKD) kits from the Halewood plant in Liverpool, UK. The assembly of CKD kits, which include all parts needed to assemble the vehicle, is a relatively common practice in the automotive industry.
