PProduction of the Ineos Grenadier has begun, with the first models rolling off the assembly line in Hambach, France.
This is an important milestone for the British brand, as it means customers will start receiving their orders in December this year, despite ongoing disruptions in the global supply chain.
Ineos Automotive commercial director Mark Tennant said the company had come a long way since the project began in 2017.
“This is a historic moment for vehicle manufacturer Ineos Automotive,” Tennant said.
