Warwickshire and Rwanda-based Ox has secured three grants worth £1.2m in the last four months for its project, which will combine the electric truck with a ‘mobility-as-a-service’ model to enable low-cost sustainable transport, even in rural areas.
Originally designed by Formula One innovator Professor Gordon Murray CBE, the Ox truck is purpose-designed for emerging markets. As well as being zero-emission, the truck is forecast to be 30% cheaper to run per tonne over 20 years than currently available diesel trucks.
The newly-launched Watt Electric Vehicle Company has unveiled its lightweight modular electric vehicle (EV) platform Passenger And Commercial EV Skateboard (PACES), which can support a broad range of future niche EVs.
