in the first Land Rover was released in 1948 paved the way for large rural 4X4, as practical as they are convenient for many travelers. in Jeep Wrangler which is derived from the civilian versions of war jeeps introduced this open air 4X4 concept to go off the beaten track and off-road entertainment. With the advent of SUVs, most four-wheel drives of this type have turned into large machines that are more comfortable on the road than on the track. Starting with the current Defender, far from the DNA of its elder. Some, however, are resisting, like the Wrangler Ford Bronco or the last Ineos Grenadier example. Here is a new actor now enters this slot. Straight from Scotland designer of Munro Vehicles comes with his copy of a 100% Electric Mountaineer: Munro Mk_1!

For a clean cut

very reliablevery hard even tortured in appearance Mk_1 is a real 4X4 for pure crossbreeding. Its capabilities have been thought out to the detriment of its design, which lacks a bit of sophistication. The case is square, paneled at the back, which opens with prominent running boards and giant mudguards. He serves ground clearance, which reaches 48 cm, and there are almost no overhangs. Mk_1 can be accommodated on board 5 people, and has a large cargo volume in the back. He represents a Load capacity 1000 kgand can tow kit 3.5t. The manufacturer claims that it can overcome fords up to 80 cm. This, of course, is not very aesthetic, but it is the advantage of being strong and functional!

Designed as an agricultural machine

Technically, the Mk_1 inherits a Electric motor with a capacity of 220 or 280 kW choice. Or in horses 300 and 380 horsepower. Designed primarily for a agricultural use (as specifications of the first Land Rover), it rotates more slowly than a conventional car electric motor. The weight advantage that allows him, in addition, do without a distribution boxt. It is for this calling that Munro prefers to speak of a autonomy in time not distance. Thus, he promises to use further 16 hours, or approximately 304 km along the mark. The battery (61 or 82 kWh) can charge in less than thirty minutes on a fast charger. Munro Mk_1 from 2023 it will be collected in Scotlanda little less 60,000 euros in the base price.
