Engineers at Ineos, owned by pharmaceutical magnate and Britain's richest man, Jim Ratcliffe, will soon begin developing a hydrogen power plant for the Projekt Grenadier SUV, which is conceived as the conceptual successor to the classic Land Rover Defender.

• According to Autocar, this became known from the list of holders of grants for the development of environmentally friendly transport. It was published by the UK government. The Ineos company received 249 thousand pounds for the creation of a hydrogen SUV.
• The car, which so far bears the working name Projekt Grenadier, in addition to the hydrogen version, will receive gasoline and diesel engines from BMW. Distinctive properties of the SUV are the frame structure, continuous axles, permanent four-wheel drive and aluminum body. The premiere is scheduled for 2020, and in 2021, Grenadier should go on sale.
