This one-off isn't destined for production anytime soon, yet an early test reveals its as capable as its petrol-powered sibling off road
One-off isn't destined for production immeditately, but an early test reveals it's as capable off road as its ICE sibling
Hydrogen is so well suited to heavy-duty off-road vehicles like the Grenadier, unlike a battery-electric solution that would make it “too heavy off road, limit towing and the issue of charging in the middle of nowhere”, said Calder. To that end, Ineos sees potential use for “emergency services, NGOs, border forces”. to source the 115kW fuel cell and two 2kg hydrogen storage tanks that are placed in the ladder chassis.
Driving this very special Grenadier feels like playing a video game on the easy setting in the way it tackles an off-road course. It is so smooth to drive over all the hazards and different terrains, making progress easy. Just point and shoot. A back-to-back drive in a petrol-powered Grenadier reveals the two are equals off road in their capacity to traverse different terrains and hazards, but in the hydrogen model you can be that bit more precise in your control inputs. Amann said that should you get into trouble, that extra level of precision ought to help you get out of it that bit easier as torque won't be sent to a wheel without traction.
