Do you know the development history of Land Rover？

In 1945, after the end, () car decided to develop a brand-new model. At that time, the powerful figures of Rover Company were inspired by a Willis left after the war when they were working in a farmland, and decided to produce a light four-wheel drive multi-functional model. The research and development concept of the new car is that it can drive under bad road conditions such as farmland. The English name ""means "can be used for farming".

The brand of Landrover is of extraordinary significance in the world. From the initial farmer’s car to the luxury SUV, the development of Landrover can be described as ups and downs. Before it was officially sold in China, Chinese people always translated Land Rover into Land Rover. However, when Land Rover was ready to be officially listed in China, it was found that Land Rover had been registered as a trademark by a domestic automobile company, so it had to register the "Land Rover" trademark in China.

The first Land Rover was born in 1948. The predecessor of Land Rover was an agricultural truck, which used the chassis and transmission system of the US military Willis jeep. Other parts were made by itself, and a large number of ready-made and shared parts of Rover P-3 models were used to save costs.

At the same time, a simple car body structure and a large number of aluminum car body designs were adopted to overcome the iron-deficient environment at that time, and the advantages of aluminum’s non-corrosion also made the car more durable. This utility vehicle is mainly used as a farm vehicle, so it is mainly designed to mount various agricultural tools. At the auto show in the spring of 1948, Land Rover agricultural trucks shined brilliantly, and an accidental inspiration made them one of the best brands in the 4X4 world!
