“TRADITIONAL , ICONIC 4X4S – WHICH , FOR YEARS , WERE THE OFF-ROAD VEHICLE OF CHOICE FOR COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE USERS – ARE NO-MORE ”

MARCUS MACKLE HEAD OF SALES , MUNRO
The ability to meet the demands of a sustainable future doesn ’ t necessarily hinge on the luxuries and autonomy that electrification brings . While there are many use cases for autonomous vehicles and self-driving cars to allow more comfort for extended journeys , there ’ s still demand for the basic functions .
Countries like Scotland , Australia , Canada , and the African continent , among others , are able to provide crucial services with the vehicles they have today , but it ’ s great to recognise that an EV can provide them with the same great capabilities – and it does that with zero emissions . All that ’ s left is to ensure that vehicles are able to charge and retain their power in the most rugged settings .
“ Charging infrastructure in the UK is evolving rapidly and this will aid the integration of Munro technology into rural environments even more so than currently possible ,” says Mackle . “ Home charging stations are becoming a popular choice of home improvement with many incentives on the market , for end users / operators of the Munro this is a huge benefit too .”
