Many new manufacturers have emerged in recent years. Many of them have focused on the electric vehicle as part of a more commercial strategy for the coming years. Nevertheless, INEOS Automotive arises on a completely different plane. The company of English origin was born to develop SUVs, according to its philosophy: to return the most classic models to the segment.

Initially, the objective of INEOS was to manufacture the old models of the old Defender. Given the refusal of Land Rover the car company opted for a much more drastic solution: build its own car. Thus INEOS Automotive was founded in 2014 as one of the parts of the INEOS company, mainly focused on the exploitation of petrochemical products.

Without the help of one of the current large automobile corporations, the English company embarks on the development and production of its first model; the INEOS Grenadier. Despite the little experience accumulated, INEOS takes other large companies in the sector as partnersas BMW and Magna Steyr, which will be in charge of producing the Grenadier units on its lines in Austria.

In 2022 the Grenadier finally goes on sale, being considered one of the great SUVs on the market. As part of its parent business line founded by Jim Ratcliffe, INEOS releases a hydrogen-powered model. It is unknown if the company will manufacture more models in the future, as it is at the expense of obtaining good results with its first unit.
