[Bushguide]

Will now the the production line is working we should soon see a video clip of the production line in full swing???? just to confirm that JOB1 was not a One Off to placate the peasants.

So is this a British, French, German, or something else car?

It is right hand drive with what looks like plastic bumper.
That would make it British.

I’m sure many others have received this email today from Ineos as well…

“Grenadier production has begun.

A landmark moment. Another major milestone. And music to all our ears. Despite the delay caused by global supply issues we told you about recently, we’ve started series production of our rugged 4X4.

That’s right. Grenadiers are now rolling off the production line at our facility, in Hambach. All thanks to the hard work and dedication of the INEOS Automotive team, our development partners, and our suppliers – plus your continued belief in and support of the project, of course.

It’s been quite the journey since we started out in 2017. Now the time has come, we can’t wait to get you behind the wheel of your Grenadier.”

hundreds of workers and no one can whip out their iphone for a couple of snaps of the production line finish?

Hopefully we’ll see a professional video soon.

I was in one of our factories in Switzerland a few months ago and asked if I could take a picture and received a very quick "NO"
I can see quite a few taking video's and pictures of the finished product but I would be surprised if they were allowed to do it in the production area.

We seem to live in a overly serious, uptight and censorious world, where every roadside Stop/Go girl thinks they're a God - god help us alI.

In more relaxed and friendly times, customers picking up their new car from Stuttgart got a guided "factory tour" and could happily snap away.

I already posted the video. Okay, you might think it’s not professional etc.
It’s not just the monsieur talking in French; there’s some footage too

My apologies. What I meant was that I expect to see a video produced by INEOS of cars rolling off the production line very shortly.

 

[emax]

The claim seems anyway a bit daring to me.

 

[Max]

Don't forget there are a few other manufacturers/suppliers locally based. Voestalpine press the major body structures, Gestamp for the chassis & I think some plastics parts come from within what used to called "Smartville".

Brembo Brakes...Italian. What do we know about in-cab electronics?

Added 'Brakes'.

productionising

I think he means productification.

No comments on those indicators?

 

[ECrider]

well as they are working they can't possibly be from the same factory as BMW's

taxi......

 

[JOB]

I must admit, I missed that footage.

There's plenty in the queue behind the 1st one:

Interesting to note that evidently the last thing to be fitted are the plastic headlight surrounds..
