A British carmaker behind an “ugly” line-up of electric 4x4s will open a new UK factory next year as it gears up for a significant expansion.
Munro, which makes the £70,000 Series M off-roader, is searching for a location in the UK and plans to open the facility next year.
The company – whose utility vehicles are built for “extreme off-road and heavy industrial use” – is currently based in a workshop in East Kilbride, near Glasgow, where it employs around 30 people.
Executives at the carmaker said on Tuesday that the company was preparing to “scale globally” as they target buyers of rugged vehicles in industries such as mining, emergency response, defence and construction.
The electric vehicles (EVs) are also used for off-road tourism experiences at the luxury Gleneagles resort in Perthshire.
The company’s Series-M, which competes with the Ineos Grenadier, was named the best off-roader at the Top Gear 2026 electric vehicle awards.
