Ineos Grenadier Pickup Truck, Mass Production at French Factory

Ineos Automotive, primarily known for manufacturing off-road vehicles, announced on the 30th that it has begun mass production of the Grenadier Quartermaster at its factory in Hambach, France. It is a double-cab style pickup truck with a passenger area behind the driver's seat.

In Europe, deliveries to customers will begin next month. The North American region will follow early next year, with sales also planned sequentially in the Asia-Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Middle East regions. It is developed alongside the company's first all-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Grenadier Station Wagon, and produced at the same factory.

The Quartermaster shares the station wagon's full box trapezoidal frame chassis, heavy-duty solid beam axles, two-speed transfer case, and up to three locking differentials. Customers can choose between BMW's 3.0ℓ inline six-cylinder turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines. It features a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission paired with a permanent all-wheel-drive system.

The wheelbase is 305 mm longer than that of the station wagon. The chassis (frame) has a maximum payload capacity of 760 kg. It is equipped with a cargo bed capable of carrying Euro pallet-sized (1200×800 mm) loads. Lyn Calder, CEO of Ineos Automotive, stated, "As part of the final approval process, I personally test-drove the final prototype in remote areas of Spain and Africa to directly verify its performance."
