25 March 2019, Gaydon, UK – Land Rover has handed over the first of a new fleet of #discovery vehicles to Highways England, which will begin patrolling England’s motorways this month, becoming the latest in a long lineage of #discovery public services vehicles, stretching back to the original #discovery in 1989.
A fleet of 70 Highways England Land Rover Discoverys have been specially modified for the needs of traffic officers, including a roof-mounted light array, programmable rear LED board, iconic Battenburg livery and a cavernous reinforced load area. Traffic officers have to carry over 600kg of equipment, including lights, traffic cones and safety barriers. Often called into action to tow stranded vehicles, the Discovery’s mighty 3,500kg maximum towing capacity and its 700Nm of torque demonstrates its suitability for the job.
The Land Rover #discovery SE 3.0 Sd6 models will be in service with Highways England for roughly four years, with each expected to cover around 250,000 miles on England’s motorways and major highways.
The Land Rover #discovery has always been the ultimate in versatility, comfort and ability. For fifteen years it has been a trusted workhorse for Highways England, and it gives me great pleasure to see the latest generation #discovery continuing that legacy. Highways England works tirelessly to keep England’s motorists moving and we are proud that this fleet of Land Rover Discovery’s has been chosen to keep the team mobile and equipped with everything they need to take on the toughest challenges whatever the location, whatever the conditions.
