Grenadier Enhanced Protection Vehicle: armoured excellence redefined
INEOS presents a revolutionary approach to military vehicle protection, engineering an enhanced protection variant that places armoured capability at the very foundation of its design rather than as an afterthought to existing architecture.

The philosophy governing the Grenadier Enhanced Protection Vehicle represents a paradigm shift in military automotive engineering. Rather than retrofitting protective measures onto an existing platform, INEOS and its development partners conceived protection as the foundational principle around which the entire vehicle would be orchestrated. This elegant inversion of conventional thinking yields a machine of altogether superior capability and integrity.
At its heart sits a bespoke armoured cell, engineered to deliver comprehensive 360-degree STANAG Level 2 protection. This purpose built cabin is mounted directly to the Grenadier’s original chassis, a configuration that preserves the vehicle’s engineering integrity whilst introducing military grade defensive systems. The result is a synthesis of protection and performance that neither compromises the vehicle’s mechanical capabilities nor its distinctive aesthetic identity.
Military Grade Engineering Meets Grenadier DNA
The interior architecture reflects meticulous consideration of operational requirements. A blast resistant floor provides foundational protection, whilst five specially engineered blast tested seats ensure occupant security across all seating positions. The cabin incorporates modular equipment stowage systems, permitting flexible configuration according to mission specifications. Integrated power and Ethernet systems enable seamless integration of modern military communication and tactical equipment, transforming the vehicle into a mobile operational centre.
Critically, the Enhanced Protection Vehicle retains the Grenadier’s celebrated powertrain and drivetrain, preserving the dynamic capability and reliability that define the marque. The vehicle’s instantly recognisable front end design remains intact, maintaining visual continuity with the broader Grenadier family whilst signalling its specialised military pedigree.
Purpose Built for Demanding Terrain and Circumstance
This variant emerges from INEOS’s submission to the Ministry of Defence’s Light Mobility Vehicle tender, a competitive process that demands vehicles of exceptional versatility and resilience. The Enhanced Protection Vehicle embodies precisely these qualities: a machine engineered for the most demanding operational environments, capable of fulfilling complex security and mobility requirements whilst maintaining the robustness and dependability expected of purpose built military transport.
The development process reflects INEOS’s commitment to engineering excellence and its profound understanding of the requirements facing modern military operations. Protection, capability, reliability and mission readiness converge in a vehicle that stands as a compelling proposition for defence operations worldwide.
