Land Rover Monthly September 2021

WELL done to Sarah and Richard Arrowsmith plus their incredible team of volunteers for hosting a very successful 2021 Billing Off Road Show. The whole vibe and buzz over the weekend was something I have never experienced in my eight years of attending. Broad smiles, packed parking fields, happy traders, happier off-roaders and sizzling sausages on the BBQ. It truly had it all. You can read more about it on page 54. Plus LRM acquired a large number of new subscribers, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome each and every one of them to the LRM family! For those who missed out on our great subscription sign up deal at Billing, do not fear, we will have a stand at the Newbury 4x4 Spares Day on July…

WITH the 2030 net zero target looming closer every day, manufacturers have found themselves in a race to produce cars with little or no emissions at the tailpipe. Obviously a full transition to electric vehicles will play a big part in meeting climate goals, but hydrogen also has a role to play in the future powertrain mix. While we think it’s a better solution for heavy vehicles such as buses and lorries rather than personal transport, Land Rover has other ideas. Based on the new Defender, the brand has developed a prototype hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and testing is scheduled to begin towards the end of 2021 in the UK to verify key attributes. The FCEV concept is part of JLR’s aim to achieve zero tailpipe emissions by 2036,…

A fleet of Defender 110s is set to transport athletes, medical crew and support staff over 1238 km of alpine terrain as 32 competitors combine hiking, ultra-running, mountaineering and paragliding in a true test of human endurance and stamina. Otherwise known as the Red Bull X-Alps 2021, the Defenders will be a home-from-home for participants, who after hiking over 50 km a day up vertical ascents as high as 5000 m, will be very grateful for their bespoke Autohome roof tent. Kitted out with Land Rover’s Portable Rinse System, Exterior Side-Mounted Gear Carriers and Integrated Air Compressors, together with other vital supplies and equipment, and Defender’s integrated 4G Wi-Fi connectivity, the competitors should have everything they need to rest and recover properly at the end of each day. We wish every one of…

TWISTED Automotive, Land Rover Defender modification specialists, has opened its first showroom in London just as it celebrates 21 years in business.
