INEOS Automotive has announced a partnership with Buller Ski Lifts ahead of the 2023 winter season. Initially, INEOS Automotive will provide two Grenadier Station Wagons for use on the mountain, with plans for the fleet to grow over the course of the partnership.

INEOS Grenadier
“The INEOS Grenadier is an uncompromising 4X4 built from the ground up, engineered to overcome all conditions – making it the perfect vehicle to take on the rugged and challenging terrain of Mt Buller,” said Justin Hocevar, Head of Region, APAC, at INEOS Automotive. “With best-in-class off-road capability, durability, and reliability, we’re confident it will become a dependable working tool for the team at the resort, wherever they are on the mountain and whatever the weather.”
“The partnership with INEOS Automotive will truly establish the Grenadier as the High Country’s workhorse,” said Noel Landry, General Manager of Buller Ski Lifts. “From helping us transport the snowmaking team in winter, to maintaining lifts and equipment in hard-to-reach alpine settings over summer, not to mention taking mountain bike riders up to our Australian Alpine Epic Trail – we love that this partnership helps us support those people who live, work and play on the mountain.”
For INEOS Automotive, the partnership embodies its ongoing commitment to sport, adventure and exploration, sitting alongside its existing global partnerships with the likes of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team, INEOS Britannia sailing, All Blacks Rugby and the INEOS Grenadiers cycling team.
Visitors will be able to see the INEOS Grenadiers on the mountain during the official King’s Birthday weekend celebrations from 10 June 2023.

Engineered to overcome all conditions, it will provide best-in-class off-road capability, durability, and reliability to those who depend on a vehicle as a working tool, wherever they are in the world.
