Automotive Case Study

Jaguar Land Rover

Challenge

Jaguar Land Rover’s prestige brand is built on the design and manufacture of vehicles of the highest quality. As part of the development of its new Discovery Sport model, the company needed to quickly develop and test a range of new components.

Solution

FRP was selected by Jaguar Land Rover to develop the prototypes using a variety of processes and materials in line with the company’s demanding manufacturing schedule.

Result

In under four weeks, FRP delivered up to 100 car sets containing a selection of interior and exterior trim components and under-bonnet parts.

“FRP’s fantastic service was instrumental in enabling us to test and develop a range of components for our new Discovery Sport vehicle. FRP helped us with a range of parts covering many critical vehicle attributes; our need for fast, real parts is always significant, and FRP rose to the challenge in every department. They are one of a select band of prototype and low volume suppliers that deal in a wide range of materials and processes – we find this particularly helpful when we need quick responses to the challenges of developing a new vehicle from scratch.”
