my exact words in reply and he reiterated they were serious about it. time will tell.> that is a big investment....
And I consider it a good one.
Keep in mind that Ineos prime business is chemical, petrochemical and Oil & Gas. Also jackets.
Well, I have more confidence in INEOS than in the Bavarians.Whilst Ineos have gone with Hyundai for developing the fuel cell version of the Grenadier, it's got to be looking closely at what it's ICE partner is doing...

Cars are just a sideline at the moment but he didn't become a billionaire by making bad business decisions. In the next couple of years we will see a dual cab and a long wheelbase station wagon. You can pretty well guarantee a short wheelbase 2 door is in the files somewhere. I think he mentioned that in an EV version. They will have to build something more suited to the US tastes as well. 10 years time they will be going after the up market bling sector (Chelsea Tractor) etc etc It wouldn't surprise me if they purchased a US car plant to avoid the onion tax.
They did say at the show there will be a small version, I guess a Samurai look from the 80s? lol
Yes that makes sense because their existing plant has capacity issues and rather than expanding it the sensible option would be buy or build plants in other parts of the world. South America, Asia, South Africa. That would also mean they don't have to make globally compliant vehicles or engineer for both left and right hand drive. They could wack a 19.7 litre Cummins diesel with 14" lift on 55" wheels for the US market.
not Onion. 
I thought onion was wrong as I typed it but I figured you'd know what I meant.It’s the “chicken tax”
Applies to only pickups at the moment 25% import duty introduced in 1964 FFS….

From what I've read, hydrogen is more a by product of some of their chlorine making facilties.
Yep. I don’t think anyones arguing that the cycle of energy from electricity to motive mower is not far more efficient with an electric vehicle. It’s just that these studies invariably over magnify the difference by representing EV’s in the most positive light possible whilst cherry-picking the worst case scenario for alternatives.
