Ineos Grenadier, the idea inspired by the Defender with frame with side members and rigid axles
The idea of the new Ineos Grenadier off-road vehicle was born in 2017 in England, at the Grenadier pub, from which this 4 × 4 vehicle takes its name following an online survey. In fact theBritish businessman Jim Ratcliffechemical engineer and president of Ineos petrochemical companyfollowing some chats with some friends at the historic pub, he decided to undertake the project of a modern off-road vehicle but based on a simple and tested scheme that is chassis with side members with rigid axles.
Thus founded the Ineos Automotiveheaded Dirk Heilmann And Mark Tennant as Commercial Director, thanks to his 25 years of experience in the automotive sector. The goal is to make a 4 × 4 vehicle designed to go against the trend of luxury SUVswhich must be a “Good offroader”that is a good off-road vehicle, with excellent characteristics of robustness and reliability.
The inspiration comes from the mechanical simplicity of the Willys Jeep of 1940where everything is functional for the job that the vehicle has to carry out, but the strong nostalgic appeal to the Land Rover Defenderan ‘off-road vehicle icon so dear to the British as well as to off-roaders from all over the world.
