While steadily promoting the landing of corporate vision, Jaguar Land Rover continues to increase local investment and innovate to open a new joint venture and cooperation model. In June this year, Jaguar Land Rover signed a letter of intent for strategic cooperation with its partner Chery Automobile, authorizing the joint venture Chery Jaguar Land Rover to use the "Freelander" brand to launch and manufacture a series of electric products, which will bring consumers richer product choices and create a mutually beneficial and win-win development prospect by making full use of the superior resources of both parties.
