Ineos Automotive has set its sights on revolutionizing the electric SUV market once again by introducing its latest model, the Ineos Fusilier. Building on the success of its previous models, the Grenadier and the Quartermaster, the Fusilier promises to deliver world-class off-road capability while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and performance on the road.
Unveiling the Fusilier: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
The Ineos Fusilier marks a significant step forward in the company’s journey towards decarbonization. Unveiled in London by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman and CEO of Ineos, the Fusilier is designed to meet the diverse needs of global consumers without compromising on performance. With both zero-emission and low-emission options, including a range-extender electric model, the Fusilier offers flexibility and versatility for drivers seeking eco-friendly alternatives.
Technical Specifications and Design
Developed in collaboration with industry-leading automotive supplier Magna, the Fusilier boasts a modern design with distinctive styling cues reminiscent of the iconic G-Wagen. Equipped with a bespoke skateboard platform featuring a steel top hat and aluminum doors, the Fusilier is lighter and more agile than its predecessors, making it ideal for tackling challenging terrain.
Powertrain Options
The Fusilier will be available with two powertrain options: an all-electric model and a range-extender electric model. The all-electric variant promises emissions-free driving for shorter trips and urban environments. At the same time, the range-extender option features a small petrol engine that charges the battery when external charging is unavailable. This hybrid approach reflects Ineos‘s commitment to embracing a mix of powertrain technologies to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility.
Manufacturing and Testing
Production of the Fusilier will take place at Magna’s facility in Graz, Austria, where rigorous testing on Austria’s Schöckl mountain will ensure the vehicle’s durability and off-road capabilities. By leveraging Magna’s expertise in automotive manufacturing, Ineos aims to deliver a high-quality product that meets modern drivers’ demands while reducing environmental impact.
Ineos is Looking Toward the Future
As Ineos continues to push the boundaries of automotive innovation, the Fusilier represents a bold step towards a more sustainable future. With its blend of tradition and innovation, this electric SUV is poised to make a significant impact on the market and pave the way for future advancements in sustainable off-road driving.
