In its flat-pack form, all the other parts of the Ox fit into the frame, reducing shipping costs. The engine even ships in the pan in which it’s meant to sit to avoid the need for a workshop crane to get it into place. What you end up with is a truck design that can be built by three people in 12 hours using a set of around 40 different spanners and an Allan wrench. The dream had been to require just three spanners, but it turns out that was the one step too far. Its flat-pack form also means that six Ox kits can fit into a standard 40ft shipping container, which wouldn't even hold a single regular truck. In photos the Ox may look like a bit of a grown-up Meccano construction, but in person it's a hulking great thing. Two meters wide and with enough space in the back to function as an ambulance or bus, to transport multiple giant water barrels, or virtually anything else, it looks the part.
