History

In September 2021, the Glasgow-based company All Terain All Electric Vehicles presented the first information about the fully electric Munro electric car project it is developing, 2 years after it was founded by engineers Russ Peterson and Ross Anderson. [1]

Over the next year, intensive work was carried out on the Munro Mark 1 prototype, testing, among others, 371-horsepower drivetrain and 80.1 kWh battery to allow for a driving range of approximately 270 km (170 mi), and also distinguished by its adaptation to driving in difficult terrain. [2] The development of the Mark 1 was the Munro MK_1, which was officially unveiled in December 2022. The aggresssively styled vehicle was distinguished by its combat look, matte paint and angular body. The company plans to start production of a serial vehicle in 2023, starting with 50 units, to build another 2,500 units in 2024. [3]

Bollinger Motors lawsuit

In February 2023, the company entered into a legal conflict with the American company Bollinger Motors, whose representatives accused the Scottish company of copying the unrealized design of the Bollinger B1/B2 electric off-road models. The author was Ross Anderson, who later switched to Munro, which Bollinger considered a breach of contract. [4]
