Munro Vehicles, a manufacturer of all-electric 4x4s, is set to unveil its first vehicle – the Munro MK_1 at a global launch event in Edinburgh on 5 December.

Designed, engineered, and built in Britain, the Munro MK_1 will be the world’s most capable all-electric 4×4, born off-road to navigate the most challenging terrain and operating for up to 16 hours on a single battery charge. 

The Munro’s prodigious all-terrain ability and advanced all-electric powertrain make it an ideal choice for those seeking to minimise their environmental footprint in numerous sectors including construction, agriculture, mining, forestry, mountain rescue, remote infrastructure maintenance, and leisure without compromising on performance or capability.

Engineered to transport a crew of five to the most rugged locations, accommodating an 1,000kg payload and 3,500kg towing capacity, the Munro represents the ultimate, sustainable, utilitarian, off-road workhorse. Intensely focused on off-highway performance, reliability, ease-of-repair and longevity, the Munro is engineered to provide owners and operators with decades of service. 

Munro CEO, Russell Peterson commented: “This early sketch of the Munro MK_1 by our award-winning in-house designer Ross Compton, underlines our design commitment to build an all-terrain electric 4X4 engineered from the wheels up to provide unparalleled workhorse capability for commercial customers looking to decarbonise their fleets. The Munro MK_1 will effortlessly go to places others can’t reach, with bulletproof durability and ultra-low running costs. The Munro team and I can’t wait to show the world the fully finished vehicle on December fifth.”
