Hey, I'm new here. I am an Indstrial Design student at Virginia Tech, and for my senior design thesis I am going to design something for Land Rover Defenders (most likely the 110) as they are used in medical relief and recovery efforts in remote areas. I was wondering if anyone had any info. or statistics about how many land rovers are used by organizations for relief, or what countries use them. Also, if I could find out what supplies are transported to these areas, that would be great. I need to research this type of stuff to pose a case for how this could be a socially responsible design. In reality, I just want to design something for Land Rovers cuz I have always liked them, but I need a good cause for the design project. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys.

This might be too late to the party, but I use a 110 in Honduras for general mission/relief work, from hauling groups to lugging 1,000lbs of corn on the roof rack, it gets around the country, and helps us in ways our other vehicles can not touch. If you want more information, let me know.

I can tell you that over 70% of Landrovers built are still on the road and 60% of people in the developing world the first car they ever saw was a Landrover.

That is true - 70% of all land rover ever built are still on the road today - the other 30% made it home ;-)

seriously, as an owever of a 110 xTreme, I am a massive fan. Try contacting Landrover in the UK - the PR or marketing departments would be able to assist for sure...
