Engineering firm MBtech, which is part-owned by Mercedes-Benz, has been awarded the contract with British Ineos Automotive to engineer its Land Rover Defender-inspired ‘Projekt Grenadier’ SUV.
The appointment represents a significant step forward in the realization of INEOS’s plans to build an uncompromising world-class 4×4 vehicle.
As reported by the media, more than 200 German engineers will be working full-time on the project in Stuttgart by spring 2018.

INEOS Automotive and German engineering company MBtech have struck a landmark deal which will see the companies officially partner to develop Projekt Grenadier’s vehicle.
