The Defender replacement and British industrial work

What is likely to replace the Army's Land Rover Defender?

The prediction favours the option that supports the most British jobs, with Defender Wolf and Grenadier judged strong candidates.

Domestic jobs are predicted to strongly influence the replacement competition. Defender Wolf and Ineos Grenadier are judged the most likely options, although seven submissions are reported. Ford's six-wheel Ranger and an adapted Mercedes-Benz also enter the comparison. European commonality could favour Mercedes, but anticipated headlines about Labour buying G-Wagons are treated as a political obstacle. For an alternative to a British design, the personal preference is the Toyota Land Cruiser proposal involving Babcock and Supacat, because of Toyota pickups' durability.
