The words of the CEO of Munro
Russell Peterson, CEO and co-founder of Munro“ Priced at £49,995 excluding VAT and with deliveries starting later this year, we have already secured more than 200 orders for the Mk_1 Pick-Up.
With a two-year order book for both the Mk_1 Pick-Up and Mk_1 Truck, Munro must expedite his search for larger premises to meet customer demand. We launched the Munro to fill a significant gap in the market for an electric-powered, four-wheel drive utility work vehicle. Our vehicles are designed and engineered without compromise, starting with cleaning principles that are not hampered by any existing architecture. The result is a robust structure, built for decades of service and capable of offering maximum go-anywhere capability.”
