Less than five months after being unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, production of the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster has started at the car manufacturer’s production facility in Hambach, France. The Grenadier Quartermaster is based on the standard model but has been modified into a pickup truck. It gets its name from the senior military officer who is tasked with the supply and distribution of provisions and according to Ineos, the Quartermaster is just as capable in rugged, testing conditions as the regular Grenadier but has the added benefit of additional load-carrying capacity.
Customer deliveries of the new model will
start in Europe next month while shipments to the Asia Pacific region,
Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East will commence soon after. North
American sales will kick off in early 2024.
The Grenadier Quartermaster rides on an
extended 3,227 mm wheelbase, a considerable 305 mm longer than the normal model. It has a load-carrying capacity of 60
kg and is rated at the same 3,500 kg of towing capacity as the
regular 4×4. The bed is also large enough to easily carry a standard 1,200 mm x
800 mm Euro pallet with ease. Ineos will also start
building a chassis cab version next year aimed specifically at conversion
specialists and commercial body-builders. Customers can choose to have the
Quartermaster fitted with either a 3.0-liter BMW petrol engine or a 3.0-liter
BMW diesel engine. The petrol model is good for 282 hp and 450 Nm of torque while the diesel is rated at 245 hp and 550 Nm of torque.
