INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster makes its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is a pickup strictly derived from the INEOS Grenadier off-road vehicle which is already available on the market. we know very well. The range, says the manufacturer, will reflect the that of the off-road vehicle. Therefore, the pickup will be; available in addition to the standard set-up, also in the Trialmaster and Fieldmaster versions, all with N1 classification for commercial vehicles in the European Union.

LARGE CAPACITIES? OFF-ROAD

The Double Cab Pick-Up & egrave; the second model produced by INEOS Automotive and offers the same capabilities off-roadof the Grenadier. Although much of the architecture and components are shared with the off-roader, the Quartermaster pickup is the same. more 305mm long. In fact, this new model measures 5,440 mm long x 2,146 mm wide (with mirrors) x 2,019 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,227 mm.

The larger dimensions have made it possible to < strong>offer a large load compartment, with a length of 1,564 mm and a width of 1,619 mm, sufficient to easily transport a standard 1,200 mm x 800 mm europallet. The ability to load is of 760 kg, while the towing weight of 3,500 kg. In addition, the Grenadier Quartermaster is an expert. capable of carrying five people.

In the load compartment, we find four tie-down rings, a 400-watt Power Take-Off, an integrated mounting bar and a 1,280 mm tailgate capable of supporting 225 kg of weight once opened. The pickup can also count on a ground clearance of 264 mmand a depth; ford of 800 mm. The data sheet also reports an Attack Angle of 35.5', a Ramp Angle of 26.2' and an exit angle of 22.6'.

The engines of the pickup are the same as those of the off-road vehicle. Therefore, we have unity; BMW petrol and diesel3-litre turbocharged straight-six mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. The petrol engine delivers 210 kW (286 HP) with 450 Nm of torque, while the diesel one 183 kW (249 HP) with 550 Nm of torque. For both models, the speed is limited. maximum is of 160 km/h. The petrol version takes 8.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, while the diesel version takes 9.8 seconds.

The center differential lock and the two-speed reduction gear are designed to be used for this purpose. they are standard. The Grenadier Quartermaster also features the same front and rear suspension, Carraro rigid axles and Brembo brakes as the off-roader. The builder informs that for the Quartermaster model it will be; a wide range of tailor-made accessories is available for those who want to customize the vehicle according to their specific needs.

HYDROGEN POWERED GRENADIER

At Goodwood, INEOS Automotive also showed a Fuel Cell version of its Grenadier. It is, for the moment, only a demonstration model. The project had started in June 2022 when the company started a collaboration with the company ’ of Austrian engineering consultancy AVL.


On the technical front, we only know that the Fuel Cell powertrain is; made by BMW. Therefore, the powertrain could have a lot in common with that of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen. The Grenadier platform allowed INEOS Automotive engineers to integrate the new powertrain simply by modifying the ladder frame and rear axle to house the electric motors. Lynn Calder, CEO of INEOS Automotive, said:

The hydrogen-powered demonstration Grenadier, together with the all-electric model planned for 2026, demonstrates the commitment of INEOS towards zero emissions. Battery Electric Vehicles, or BEVs, are perfect for certain uses, on longer journeys. shorts, as well as for most private journeys and deliveries in urban areas, while hydrogen powered vehicles, or FCEVs, are suitable for more frequent journeys. long, extended duty cycles where the batteries affect the capacity unduly. load capacity and where great autonomy is needed between one stop and another.
