Munro’s MK_1 pick-up is a go-anywhere electric vehicle

Scottish firm Munro has added to its list of electric go-anywhere vehicles with a new battery-powered pick-up.

Unveiled at the Fully Charged Live North event, the Munro MK_1 Pick-up follows on from the firm’s regular MK_1 Truck which was introduced late last year. It’s been designed for a number of ‘challenging’ sectors, according to Munro, such as mining, construction, utilities and agriculture.

Munro states that the MK_1’s 82.4kWh battery can return ‘more than 190 miles’ of range, while rapid charging means that a 15 to 80 per cent charge could be conducted in 36 minutes when connected to a 100kW rapid charger.

“Our vehicles are designed and engineered without compromise from clean sheet principles unimpeded by any existing architecture. The result is a rugged construction created for decades of service delivering ultimate, go-anywhere, off-road ability.”

Designed, engineered and built in Britain, the Munro MK_1 Pick Up is priced from £49,995 excluding VAT and first deliveries are set to commence later this year.
