Ineos Automotive has acquired Botswana-based Kavango Engineering, one of southern Africa’s most respected and established vehicle conversion specialists. The business has been renamed Ineos Kavango. Ineos Kavango will expand its current activities to encompass ground-up conversions and ongoing maintenance of Grenadier Station Wagon and Grenadier Quartermaster pick-ups for a wide range of use cases. These include extensive specialist modifications for the conservation, safari, anti-poaching, veterinary, primary healthcare and film production sectors. To accommodate future business growth, land adjacent to the existing Ineos Kavango site is earmarked for further development that will double the scale of the operation. As a proof of concept, in late 2022 Ineos Kavango created a Safari Grenadier from a donor production prototype vehicle. Engineering modifications were minimal, centering on a slightly raised ride height, and relocating the Station Wagon’s roof-mounted switchgear to the centre console. The original roof has been replaced by a lightweight roll-back canvas top with foldable windscreen and the usual tiered seating has been added to maximise passengers’ views. Do you like it?
