Munro unveils all-electric 4x4

The Munro combines a 280kW electric powertrain with a ‘robust, simple-to-maintain’ mechanical driveline claimed to deliver ‘uncompromised off-road ability’.

According to the manufacturer, the new 4x4’s attributes make it an ideal choice for those seeking to minimise their environmental footprint in sectors including construction, agriculture, mining, emergency rescue, remote infrastructure maintenance and recreation without compromising on performance or capability.

The Munro MK_1 can transport a crew of five, accommodating a 1000kg payload and 3500kg towing capability. It is engineered to provide owners and operators with decades of service, Munro said, with reliability, ease-of-repair and longevity in mind.

Before its global unveiling, the vehicle was subjected to an intensive two-year test programme, tackling demanding weather conditions.

Priced from c.£50k, Munro confirmed it has already received deposits for MK_1s that will be hand-built next year. Pre-sales agreements have been secured from fleet operators in key industries while orders for single vehicles have come from global locations including the UK, Switzerland, St Lucia and Dubai.
