Various hurdles and set-backs are expected, especially when dealing with a vehicle segment that sits well outside the standard SUV or sedan arena. The Ineos Grendier is a brand-new product from a brand-new company,

The news comes from Ineos Automotive CEO Lynn Calder in an interview with Automotive News Europe. The supplier issue affects Grenadier and Quartermaster models. "I know that the [supplier] is working really hard to try and turn around their business and I want to give them every opportunity to do that”, she said.

The Ineos Grenadier may be virtually unstoppable off-road, but it’s hit a roadblock in production thanks to a missing trim piece that a supplier cannot provide due to what has been described as “a pre-insolvency situation”. Neither the supplier, nor the trim piece, has been named.

Ineos is having a bit of an issue with its supply chain. No, the global chip shortage hasn’t returned, but one of its suppliers has had a cash flow issue. Apparently said supplier makes a 'critical component' for the Grenadier and Grenadier Quartermaster.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s car company has been forced to halt production as the supplier of a crucial component used in its vehicles battles possible bankruptcy.

Ineos has paused vehicle production as a supplier can't deliver a key part, and the company has yet to confirm when it'll be able to resume it.

Output of the Grenadier and its derivative is being stopped at the off-road vehicle maker's French factory until it can regain access to a key component.
