INEOS GRENADIER
Car absolutely not designed for road trips gets taken on a road trip
MILEAGE 12,240 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To see if the spirit of the classic Land Rover Defender really does live on here
To north-east France and the Grenadier factory to see the opening of a biomass plant (saves money, greener than gas, smells like Christmas trees) and more importantly interview Lynn Calder, Ineos Automotive’s CEO (hear us wherever you get your podcasts). I could have taken several trains or flown, but Hambach is a way away from big cities. Colleagues reported taking more than two and a half hours to transfer across from Frankfurt airport. And where’s the fun in any of that? It’s only five hours from Calais, lending it ripe for a road trip, and I love road trips.
