INEOS Automotive has recently introduced a five-seat double cab Chassis variant of the Grenadier Quartermaster pick-up, targeting specialist vehicle converters and commercial bodybuilders worldwide.
Developed alongside the Quartermaster pick-up, the Chassis Cab is designed to offer an unmatched blend of off-road prowess and load-carrying flexibility, while also providing the comfort, safety, refinement, and features expected by modern drivers.
George Ratcliffe, the Commercial Director at INEOS Automotive, expressed, "In the first year since the Grenadier's launch, we have observed numerous specialist conversions, particularly within emergency services like fire, police, and inshore rescue. Therefore, introducing the Quartermaster Chassis Cab is a natural progression, expanding our off-road capabilities into various commercial sectors requiring a top-tier 4X4."
With a wheelbase of 3227mm, which is 305mm longer than the Grenadier Station Wagon, the Chassis Cab boasts an exposed ladder frame behind the passenger cabin. This design allows customers and aftermarket vehicle converters to explore a wide array of body-building options, further complemented by the impressive 3,500kg towing capacity.
Manufactured in Hambach, France, at the facility acquired from Mercedes-Benz in January 2021, the Grenadier Quartermaster Chassis Cab shares key components with other Grenadier models. These include the five-seat double cab, full box-section ladder frame chassis, heavy-duty solid beam axles, two-speed transfer case, and up to three locking differentials. Power is delivered by a BMW 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF, powering all four wheels.
Ratcliffe further notes, "The Grenadier's body-on-frame construction already offers significant versatility for customization, catering to both commercial and leisure users. The 'blank canvas' Chassis Cab variant enhances this versatility, accommodating applications ranging from basic trayback setups for agricultural use to roles in recovery, emergency services, tourism, and even serving as a platform for overlanding campers."
