London, 20 November 2024: Having been forced to halt in September 2024 due to a critical component shortage, production of the INEOS Grenadier and Quartermaster will restart in early January 2025.

All partners have been informed and are ready to support resumption of operations at INEOS Automotive’s plant in Hambach. 

“It’s great news that a solution has been found so quickly,” said Lynn Calder, CEO of INEOS Automotive. “Automotive supply chains are extremely complex but we were not willing to compromise on quality, so we are satisfied that we have found the best possible outcome.

“By this summer we had sold as many Grenadiers as we had for the whole of 2023, and are on track to have over 20,000 Grenadiers on the road before the end of this year. We now turn our attention to preparing Hambach to restart in early January and with significant growth in major new markets – including China and Mexico – and substantial expansion in the US, I believe 2025 is going to be our best year yet.”

“I'd like to give a huge thanks to our customers for their patience. We are happy to get back on track and look forward to handing them the keys to their Grenadiers asap.”

INEOS Automotive’s state-of-the-art facility in Hambach produces the Grenadier station wagon, Quartermaster double-cab pick-up, and Quartermaster double-cab chassis models for delivery to customers across five continents.
