The British company Ineos Automotive has announced its third model, the INEOS Fusilier. It is an electric 4X4 vehicle with world-class off-road capabilities.
Combining rugged British spirit with German engineering, the Fusilier is based on the Grenadier 4X4, but smaller in size. It is built on a bespoke skateboard platform with a steel top hat and underbody, with electric drive, but also with the option of a gasoline engine to extend the range.
“As we developed this vehicle, we quickly concluded that in order to move towards decarbonisation but continue making cars that consumers want to drive, we need a mix of powertrain technologies. BEVs are perfect for certain uses: shorter trips and urban deliveries, but industry and governments need to have realistic expectations around other technologies that can help accelerate the necessary pace of change,” said Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS.
The company has not released many details about this model, but according to the published photos, it can be guessed that it will be equipped with all-terrain tires, front underbody protection and high bumpers, while the hood and doors are reminiscent of the G-Class.
More information will be released by the end of 2024.
