OX
The Only Utility Vehicle Designed for the Developing World
The world’s first flat-pack utility vehicle which has been designed for the poor road conditions of the developing world. High capacity, low cost, capable, and durable to provide a viable opportunity for anyone to gain access to mobility.
Design validation has taken place through the build of four prototype vehicles following £3m investment from The Global Vehicle Trust. The next significant milestone is the customer evaluation fleet build scheduled for 2021 to enable vehicles to be used in-market with real-world usage.
The OX has been specifically designed to perform as well as, or better than, a four-wheel drive vehicle, while offering low cost and durable mobility with two driven wheels. The bespoke chassis and suspension gives the OX superb all-terrain capability.
Its revolutionary nature extends beyond the vehicle design because, uniquely, it is capable of being flat-packed within itself, enabling it to be transported more efficiently around the world.
