Jack heads to Scotland to do some extreme off-roading in the first ever Scottish-built EV: The Munro Mk1. With a ruthlessly simple design and unparalleled off-roading capabilities, is this the true spiritual successor to the old Land Rover Defender?

KISS! Keep It Simple, Sovereign, hey?
replace the wing mirrors with electric chain saws for those narrow regions! hahahaha
Good luck to them. I hope they make a success of it.
Love the simple panel lines, cheap to produce, hey?
The prototype was based on the Ibex 4×4 from Rotherham, so have they design their own new body now? Or is it just running gear?
The UK military is going to buy 1000 of these
Could I have something similar that is road focussed? Very, very simple and 50 year design life.
I want one in truck form. When I win the lottery of course.
60grand ? I'll stick to my Delica
While I know efficiency isn’t the goal, would love to see them do a carbon fiber version to get the weight down. Why? Because some applications might need more range away from charging infrastructure. Also would love to see permanent solar panels on top, and have an option for a windmill accessory and even more ground deployable solar panels to recharge in the field. And yes, I realize you’d need a ridiculous number of them, but when stuck out in the wilderness, would still be welcome.
A good basic vehicle covering the basics without bells and whistles that gets you from a to b no matter the obstacles that lie between.
take my money
Great! Thanks 🙂 What a beauty 🙂
just make a jimny this way
Put a red stripe on this and make a new A-Team series!
Bollinger done right? Super happy to see this kind of vehicle being featured. Now if we can just get the electric equivalent of the original 2CV, legendarily converted to a motorcycle with simple tools in the desert, and I’ll truly be happy.
Reminds me of the Bollinger. Super cool design!
Cybertruck but less embarrassing
OOH! I like! A practical EV, not a sofa on wheels! Just do away with the drive-shafts, diffs, etc, and put a motor in each corner – less to go wrong!
First part the stearing wheel is on the wrong side, LOL. Bring that Veh to Canada and do a winter test!
what’s the intro song’s name?
Everyone is making their version of a Landy these days. Perhaps JLR messed up. This is a nice elec-ute, see what I did there??
STOP! Just stop right there. Don’t change it. Don’t f*ck it up. Perfect!!
A Fay silly billy also thin of ass? Where 2 get 1….
I want one!!!
