Video: Electric INEOS 4×4 planned

Plans for a fully electric 4X4 have been confirmed by INEOS Group chief executive and chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

In his first video interview since the project started, Sir Jim Ratcliffe sat with presenter Mark Evans in the final episode of Building The Grenadier, a series dedicated to sharing the development journey of the Grenadier with the world.

The new electric model will use a smaller platform than the Grenadier, while retaining its workhorse DNA and off-road capabilities.

Launch timings have yet to be confirmed.

The plans underscore INEOS’s long-term commitment to the automotive industry, with the second model line set to join the Grenadier and Grenadier pick-up in the INEOS Automotive product family, the company says.

INEOS continues to back hydrogen fuel cells (FCEVs) as the clean powertrain solution for future versions of the Grenadier.

A fuel cell technology demonstrator is due to begin on- and off-road testing by the end of 2022.
