Tires and Parts (Abu Dhabi): The Last Overland Expedition Stops at Nitra Factory to come face-to-face with New Defender

The Last Overland, a team that is currently retracing the route taken by the famous 1955 Oxford & Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition continued its journey from Singapore to London with a stopover at Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing facility in Nitra, Slovakia. The relatively new plant which was opened in October 2018 covers an area of 300,000 square meters and has the capacity to make 150,000 vehicles every year with its state-of-the art equipment. The plant is the first in Europe to use the Pulse carrier system from Kuka for a transfer time that is 30 per cent faster when compared to conventional conveyance systems and also has a highly automated paint shop process.
