With you, the Munro MK_1, the most rugged and rugged electric all-terrain that currently exists.
The electric SUVs that manufacturers are presenting in recent times are more suitable for the road than for the field, a place that the brands are not yet on the radar. Munro Vehicles has found a market niche in this segment and has presented an all-terrain “like before” with electric propulsion: this is the MK_1.
Specially designed to resist and withstand the toughest jobs in the field with hardly any scratches, the MK_1 is based on a galvanized steel frame frame 5 mm thick and can load 1 ton and tow 3.5 tons.

The MK_1 is also suitable for use in the remote infrastructure maintenance, as well as for leisure activities. For its distribution, the company will select its agents and recognize the right of customers to repair and maintain their vehicle without voiding its full five-year or 100,000-mile warranty.
As for the design, if one of the best and most iconic pure 4×4s has been the Defender, why not have it as a reference? And that’s what the Munro designers have done for their MK_1. One of his designers, Russell Peterson, chose the timeless and functional style of the Defenderwhich has now been replaced by a much fancier and more expensive version.

“I spent much of my childhood on a farm and later ran my own farm contracting business, so I know all too well how important it is to have a proper, tried and tested vehicle, that you can rely on regardless of weather and conditions, and that he does not leave you lying no matter how much you mistreat him. And every Munro is built around these enduring values,’ he says.
