JEEP SET FOR NEW HEIGHTS AS FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW OFFICIAL VEHICLE SUPPLIER

Jeep has been cleared for take-off as an official supplier at one of the world’s leading international airshows.

The 4x4 brand has landed the ‘official trade vehicle provider’ status at this month’s (11-17 July) Farnborough International Airshow 2016. The famous festival attracts thousands of flying fans, but is also an excellent arena in which to demonstrate Jeep’s award-winning 4x4 models, their style and quality, and their world-class off-road ability.

Aviation and aerospace companies have had long and colourful histories in the UK, so it is fitting that Jeep should also be celebrating a landmark birthday at this year’s Farnborough, Hampshire show – its 75th Anniversary.

With more than just a ‘stand’ appearance, Jeep will be fully interactive, with its entire range on display, including the Hardcore 4x4 of the Year* Wrangler, 4x4 of the Year* Renegade, legendary Cherokee and Grand Cherokee ‘the most-awarded SUV’. Special 75th Anniversary editions of Jeep Grand Cherokee – the first reveal in the UK – Renegade and Cherokee will be shown, while the entire range will be available for lucky visitors to drive on an obstacle course built specially for the show.

A full selection of merchandise, sales literature and technical experts will also be available during the wing-filled weekend.

“We are delighted to be taking part at this year’s Farnborough International Airshow,” says Damien Dally, head of brand, Jeep UK. “It’s one of the most famous airshows in the world which attracts thousands of people who we know are interested not just in aircraft, but in cars too. It is therefore an ideal show for Jeep, and we are delighted to attend.”

“Being at Farnborough will allow us to showcase our ever-popular range of Jeep vehicles, including Grand Cherokee which was recently named among the Top 10 best cars to own in the UK**.”

Jeep is currently building on a hugely successful 2015. A record-breaking total of 10,794 units made Jeep the fastest-growing car brand in the UK last year.

The Farnborough International Airshow takes place from 11-17 July 2016. More information about Jeep can be found on the website: http://www. jeep. co. uk/
