FIT FOR PURPOSE

With a singular focus on creating a CAPABLE, DURABLE and RELIABLE 4X4 built to handle just about anything, AUTOMOTIVE DESIGNER TOBY ECUYER provides insights into his clean-sheet approach to designing the new INEOS GRENADIER.
FIT FOR PURPOSE

Effective design doesn’t mean complicated design. It doesn’t lead with aesthetics at the expense of function. Instead, effective design is far more focused on its goal. It’s about defining a need, understanding the user, prototyping solutions, gathering feedback and, based on that, creating the final product.

And that’s exactly the process followed by the INEOS team in conceptualising, creating, testing and finalising the new Grenadier. From the outset, the vehicle was designed with one purpose in mind – to meet the need for a rugged, capable and comfortable go-anywhere working vehicle.
