THE price of an all-electric 4x4 designed specifically for some of the dirtiest all-terrain work has been revealed. 

The Munro MK_1, which is set to become the first light vehicle manufactured in Scotland in more than four decades, will be available to buy from £49,995, with deliveries due to commence later this year.

Engineered to allow sectors such forestry to decarbonise, the vehicle features a 1,000 kg payload, 3,500 kg towing capacity, and a 16-hour off-road duty cycle on a single battery charge.

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

Presented to guests at the Low Carbon Agriculture 2023 show at NAEC Stoneleigh last month, the appeal of the Munro MK_1 extends far beyond field and farmyard, officials say.

Offering an optimum range of up 190 miles, the vehicle’s attributes are equally suitable for those working in challenging sectors such as construction, mining, environmental, emergency rescue, remote infrastructure maintenance, in addition to recreation.
