The Halewood plant, which is already home to the company's fastest selling model of all time - the Range Rover Evoque, has benefited from a 200-million-pound investment to support the introduction of the first member of the all-new Land Rover Discovery family, the company said in a statement.

The latest investment takes the total amount invested in Halewood over the last four years to almost 500 million pounds, it added.
