Hydrogen can work if we get the infrastructure in place to support it. Whilst at the dealers today I was told that there was a hydrogen version at Goodwood

I watched Goodwood live and there was a Hydrogen powered Grenadier going up the hill. Looked like it was scooting along pretty good as well. Personally, I would rather have Hydrogen powered Grenadier than an electric one. Good looking truck that Quartermaster is. You can see it at the around the -2:00:00 mark

Yes, that's what I'm alluding to, Goodwood was supposed to be the big reveal for the hydrogen version, but since the initial notification, there's not been anything said & all the PR has been centred on the QM.INEOS debuts H2 fuel cell Grenadier at Goodwood - The Engineer
A hydrogen powered version of INEOS’s Grenadier 4x4 has made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, complete with a torque vectoring feature known as ‘gecko capability’.
About a year ago the guys at ineos told me the cab/chassis was definitely coming to Australia.
I’m wondering if the poor payload is that they are keeping some in reserve for batteries?
️️ Otherwise I am baffled 
It’s all to do with Homologation - the same vehicle for the whole world. Many of their Worldwide markets have a 3.5T GVM restriction on a standard drivers license, which means the payloads are restricted not by engineering capability, but by an arbitrary figure. The solid weight of the Gren counts against it here.I’m wondering if the poor payload is that they are keeping some in reserve for batteries?
I think they have just hit their GVM limit.I’m wondering if the poor payload is that they are keeping some in reserve for batteries?
looks like we were typing at the same time, with very similar thoughts
Great minds buddy.
Will have kept it very much under wraps if they do. Have seen no rumours of it getting around here.
For Australia they would do well to offer a pre registration GVM upgrade. With the new rules in QLD pretty likely it will be possible to do an upgrade with little to no mods, would be interesting to see what an engineer had to say. I suspect the existing specs of the Grenadier would come close to meeting requirements.
Dealer told me they weren't allowed to do a pre-reg GVM upgrade because they don't own the vehicle.
I think they have shot themselves in the foot with pricing now. Quite disappointing tbh. My current order in a DC is now $144k. There is no way I'd pay that given the payload.
