Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster: first official image of dual-cab ute

English automotive start-up Ineos has revealed that its double-cab 4x4 ute will be called the Quartermaster and be officially unveiled on July 13th along with a hydrogen fuel-cell demo vehicle.

Ineos has released a first official teaser image of the production Quartermaster ute, following a previous computer-generated image (image below, right).

Based on the same ladderframe chassis and BMW powertrains as the Grenadier wagon, the Quartermaster will be Ineos Automotive’s
second model.

The Grenadier uses a choice of petrol or diesel six-cylinder engines, both
supplied by BMW and backed by ZF automatic transmissions. A full-time dual-range transfer case gives four-wheel drive, while the live axles come from Italian manufacturer Carraro and can be equipped with locking differentials. Fixed coil springs suspend the axles.

Both the Quartermaster and the fuel cell vehicle will be on display at Goodwood Estate with more details of each vehicle are expected after July 13th.

Ineos says its Grenadier Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Demonstrator will "show how well-suited the zero emissions technology is for a future long-range 4X4 off-roader".

The Grenadier FCEV will join the Quartermaster ute for runs up Goodwood's famous hillclimb.

Locally, deliveries of the Grenadier wagon have finally begun, some six month
after originally intended. Ineos Australia told us that the first deliveries were
made to owners in Western Australia before the ship made it way to the East
coast where it landed in NSW and vehicles have been distributed.

The Grenadier is priced from $97,000 in Australia, which is around $13,000 more than originally quoted. However, those who ordered their vehicles at the original price have kept the lower price. Pricing, specification and launch timing of the Quartermaster has yet to be announced.
