CAR magazine UK interviews Ineos Automotive CEO Lynn Calder: on future models, strategy and the shift to low-carbon powertrains
► EV, hydrogen, ICE engines: a balancing actRishi Sunak’s recent move to delay the ICE ban ‘til 2035
‘2035 is a more realistic target for consumers to switch to net zero vehicles and will allow the industry to meet the challenge,’ she said. ‘But achieving this target is made harder by the current singular focus on EVs as there is a real risk that that we will fail and that it will be more expensive for consumers, with the whole industry competing for finite resources such as the lithium crucial for batteries.
To her the UK government’s insistence on an end to combustion-car sales in 2030 is not a coherent plan: ‘I’d like to see some policy. It’s a statement of intent with no means of getting there.
‘We need a mix, we need different technologies that are going to get us there, otherwise we’re going to back a horse and we’re going to fail. EV, electrification, is a huge part of the solution, and we’re so into it, we’re building one. We really do think it’s a part of the solution, but the government’s saying it’s 100% of the solution.’Calder is adamant that Ineos Automotive is here for the long term. ‘Our vision is that we want to be a long-term automotive player.
‘The battery-electric that’s coming in 2026 won’t be a Grenadier. It will still have that off-road DNA of course, but it won’t be a Grenadier, so we really are moving towards a portfolio of products. Phase two is business mode, having a business that’s long-term viable and being a customer-centric organisation, not a product-centric organisation, and that’s taking a bit of time. The organisation is moving from phase one to phase two. We’ve got a lot of people who have only ever known start-up.
