Munro EV looks like Tesla Cybertruck and INEOS Grenadier's love child:
has come to market yet—but the Munro Mk1 may beat them to it, and it could pass as their love child. It's an all-new fully electric SUV from Scotland that promises to combine a zero-emissions drivetrain with go-anywhere utility. The Scottish company building it confirms it will be sold in the States, with the first examples set to arrive here as soon as next year.
Beyond the electric powertrain, the Munro takes a very traditional approach. It sits on a ladder-frame steel chassis and uses solid axles at both ends, powered by a permanent four-wheel-drive system which incorporates a low-range transfer case intended for off-roading. A locking center differential will be standard, with locking front and rear diffs an option.While most electric SUVs use two or more motors, the Mk1 takes a much simpler approach.
The Mk1's bodywork has been designed by Ross Compton, who formerly worked at Bollinger Motors. The quad light units at each side at the front are off-the-shelf units designed to be easily replaced; the charging ports sit just inside the left-hand unit. Bodywork is aluminum, although with wheel arches protected by bolt-on fiberglass cladding that is intended to be easily replaced in the event of damage.
