LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Land Rover North America is displaying
the Land Rover Defender 110 CKD (Complete Knock Down) at the 2003 Specialty
Equipment Market Association (SEMA) annual trade show. A natural fit for an
event devoted to vehicle customization, the Defender 110 CKD is a fully
assembled kit version of its most iconic vehicle.
"SEMA is the perfect platform to remind the world of our inherent
capability in the utility vehicle segment, and Defender happens to be the most
flexible and most heavily accessorized vehicle in the Land Rover lineup,"
commented Communications Director Larry Rosinski, Land Rover North America.
"SEMA also allows us to showcase that -- in addition to being built in any
way -- Defender can also be built anywhere."
Defender is specifically engineered for manufacturing flexibility. While
the majority of global assembly occurs in Solihull, England, the balance takes
place at in-market CKD factories. These six global facilities receive,
unpack, and assemble the Solihull-sourced components. This approach allows
Land Rover to reach markets that are not accessible to other brands,
continuing its heritage of service and expedition.
Currently, sold in over 100 markets around the world, the Defender is
available in three different wheelbases, 90, 110 and 130, as well as numerous
body styles and interior configurations. While rugged and practical in
appearance, today's Defender marries legendary capability with the amenities
expected in a modern vehicle. "And with countless accessory choices," adds
Rosinski, "Defender CKD continues the model's tradition of functionality to
suit any purpose."
