Munro Vehicles’ first all-electric 4x4 has entered production - the first light vehicle to be made in Scotland in over four decades.

The first two Munro MK_1 customer vehicles to be hand-built at the business’ East Kilbride headquarters represent founder editions designed on entirely clean-sheet principles and engineered for 50 years of service.

The first vehicle, a black truck, with 220kW of power and 600Nm of torque, offers an estimated 190-mile range and a 2.5-tonne braked towing weight.

The second vehicle, a pick-up built in ultimate specification performance guise, features a 280kW battery, 3.5-tonne towing capacity and an estimated range of 190 miles.

The Munro MK_1 is an electric-powered, four-wheel-drive vehicle that combines a full-time 4x4 mechanical drivetrain with a state-of-the-art electric powertrain, ensuring zero tailpipe emissions.

Its spacious rear bed can accommodate a 1050kg Euro pallet payload, while the performance model boasts a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500kg, making it ideal for hauling farm implements, livestock, construction equipment, and disaster relief supplies.

The vehicle's peak power output of 375kW combined with 700Nm of torque enables it to accelerate to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and comes in utility, performance and range variants, catering to different needs.

With an 82.4kWh battery on board, the Munro MK_1 can rapidly recharge from 15% to 80% battery capacity in 36 minutes using a 100kW DC charger. A fully charged battery provides a range of over 190 miles, enabling up to 16 hours of off-road operation on a single charge.

More than 250 pre-orders for both the truck and pick-up models have been received with Munro targeting sectors such as mining, construction, utilities, agriculture, and defence.

“The team and I are proud to have the opportunity to share the engineering and passion that goes into building these incredible all terrain electric vehicles,” said Munro CEO and co-founder Russell Peterson.
