INEOS Automotive Introduces 4X4 Electric Vehicle the INEOS Fusilier

The UK's INEOS Automotive has unveiled its brand new 4X4 vehicle, the INEOS FusilierThe new vehicle offers both zero and low emission options.

Unveiled in London by INEOS Chairman, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, it was confirmed that alongside the previously announced all-electric powertrain (BEV), a low emission range-extender electric is in development.

The range-extender option consists of a small petrol engine that powers a generator to maintain the charge level of the battery for when external charging isn’t available.

The INEOS Fusilier is being developed in conjunction with automotive supplier, Magna, which will also manufacture the vehicle in its facility in Graz, Austria,

It will be built on a bespoke skateboard platform with a steel top hat and underbody, and aluminium doors and closures.

The new 4X4 will be slightly shorter in length and slightly lower in height than the INEOS Grenadier.

Confirmation of the alternative powertrain details and launch timings are expected by autumn 2024.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS, says; “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. That is the reason we are offering an additional powertrain for the Fusilier, one that dramatically reduces emissions but has the range and refuelling capabilities needed.”

Lynn Calder, CEO of INEOS Automotive, comments; “Announcing our third model line is another significant milestone for INEOS Automotive, cementing our intent as an automotive manufacturer – like our full vehicle line-up, we are here for the long-haul.”
