“WORLD’S MOST CAPABLE ALL-ELECTRIC 4X4” MAKES DEBUT

Munro Vehicles, a manufacturer of all-electric 4x4s, and Scotland’s only volume production car company, gave its first vehicle, the Munro MK_1, its public debut at the Low Carbon Agriculture 2023 show in the UK this week.

The Munro MK_1 combines a stateof-the-art 280kW electric powertrain with a proven, robust, simple-to-maintain mechanical driveline. Ultra-utilitarian and explicitly user-focussed in nature, the Munro is engineered to provide a unique solution for those wishing to minimise their environmental footprint without compromising off-road ability, performance and practicality.

“Meeting the demanding needs of the agriculture sector was foremost in our minds when we were developing the Munro MK_1,” explained Munro CEO Russell Peterson, who co-founded the company with Head of Powertrain Ross Anderson in 2019.

abuse you throw at it. And every Munro is engineered around those enduring values.”

Priced from $60,000 with deliveries due to commence later this year, the appeal of the Munro MK_1 extends far beyond field and farmyard. Offering an optimum range of up 190 miles and the flexibility to operate off-road for up to 16 hours on a single battery charge, the Munro’s unique attributes are equally suitable for those working in challenging sectors such as construction, mining, environmental, emergency rescue, remote infrastructure maintenance, in addition to recreation.

The company is selecting a global series of agents and will recognise the customers’ right to repair and maintain their vehicle without invalidating its full five-year / 100,000-mile warranty.
