Three Range Rover Diesel Hybrid prototypes have completed the ultimate engineering sign-off test by travelling 13 countries in over 53 days, from Solihull (UK), to Mumbai, India. This is the world's first ever hybrid expedition along the Silk Trail and one of the boldest driving adventures ever pursued by Land Rover.
The Silk Trail 2013 expedition was the final validation for the Range Rover Hybrid before it is signed-off for production. From the home of the Legend in Solihull, UK, it blazed a trail through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China (including Tibet), Nepal and India. For most of this distance the expedition followed the legendary Silk Road trading routes that first connected Asia with Europe more than 2,500 years ago. Overnight halts were made in hotels, hostels and tents at many of the same staging posts visited all those years ago by Silk Road merchants, missionaries and mercenaries.

Range Rover Hybrid Prototypes Drive Thorough Nepal For The Final Leg of The Silk Trail Expedition
The Silk Trail 2013 expedition prepared to enter the fourteenth and final country on the epic journey from Solihull (UK) to Mumbai when it passed through Nepal and reached the town of Mahendranagar on the border with India.
The three Range Rover Hybrid prototypes were driven on flatter but more hazardous roads, passing fields and rain forests while leaving behind high latitudes and the peaks of the Himalayas. The heat and humidity, and the density and the unpredictable traffic, have been on the increase day by day. The response of the Hybrid engine to the driver's throttle commands and it ability to accelerate strongly, enabled safe overtaking on roads busy with trucks and buses.
Convenient and Hassle-Free
