Munro Vehicles open day

On 11th August 2023, Munro Vehicles held an open day at their factory in East Kilbride to show off their new vehicle.
This is a battery electric off-roader designed for industrial and agricultural use. The vehicle will be initially offered as a 5 seat double cab pick-up or hard top, with the potential for a single cab 2 seat model if the market demand is there.

I think it is a very well done niche product!
For me the big thing about the car is, you can repair and change suspension and drive train parts very easyI
If you do heavy offroading in the mountains, things are breaking!
You get spare parts for a Land Rover axle very easy and fast where ever you are and repair it by yourself.
Not every one needs this, but for 2500 car's a year, maybe there is a market...
I'm bringing the car hopefully 2024 to Chile for an Expedition in the Atacama to go high up on the Ojos del Salado.
I have ordered one of the early ones, hopefully to get the car in Q2 2024!
In August I have driven the black one in light off road conditions near Greystoke Castle in a quarry, was great fun!
Had been very impressive to drive the car on a little bit muddy terrain.
Even with 33" tires, it worked well. But more important for me, had been the gravel surface on steep quarry slope's!
It is very easy to give an impulse to the drive train if you need to, the torque is even on the 220 Kw Motor more than enough! The recuperation works very balancing down a slope, never needed the breaks on this circuit.
The electric motor make's it very easy and quiet to go on a off road trail, for work or to have fun!

I loved the original design as shown here but less so the revised version. Shame.

Interesting concept, very KISS. Farmers are still looking for a replacement to the Defender 90which can get through tight farm gates and carry feed bags in the back, and a better towing ability than a UTV

I wonder who is backing them? The car market is notoriously difficult to succeed in. Start you need crazy deep pockets to ramp up to commercial volumes.
