Chemical company Ineos and its British founder Jim Ratcliffe says he wants to build a modern heavy-duty off-roader similar to the discontinued Land Rover Defender.
He is prepared to put in £600 Million and is looking at possible manufacturing sites in the North East and Germany as favourites.

The Freight Transport Association says a report by the Department for Transport shows that longer semi-trailers continue to make a significant contribution towards reducing HGV miles, with subsequent environmental benefits, and have a better safety record than standard HGVs.
The trailers are up to 2.05m longer than the standard 13.6m units commonly seen on the roads in this country and mean they carry more so there’s reduced trips and fewer accidents.
