Grenadier’s production was suspended for a period of four months late last year after the SEAT Recaro Automotive Supplier entered the liquidation – after I gave Ineos a few weeks notice, Calder noted.
Since then, the German company has been rescued by the Italian supplier Group PROMA and full Grenadier production speed will be achieved again in May.
Despite this gap, INEOS has grown 40 % Grenadier sales last year as it entered its fifty global market. One of them is China, to a large extent larger in the world.
The total capacity in Hambash can reach up to 50,000 cars or so annually with the fully shift, but INEOS is currently considered a manufacturer of a small size, which means that we are getting some discrimination in terms of delegations to reduce emissions over time, which is now profitable for us, “said Caldr.
Manufacturers that sell less than 2,500 cars or trucks annually are exempted from the ZEV delegation requirements in the United Kingdom, but Calder added that “we do not want to be a manufacturer for a small size. This is not ambition and we do not stay under the extent to achieve this.
“We will represent the maximum sales in the first second that we can. After that, we will have to have a different set of vehicles-or, frankly, focus on different markets. “
