This OX is a Vehicle, and it Assembles in Only 12 Hours
LONDON--Well-known automobile designer Gordon Murray has a habit of shaking things up. His latest project may not be the most exciting, but, it could be quite revolutionary. About a year and a half ago. Murray designed the OX truck to be cheap to manufacture, shipped in flat packs and quickly assembled at its final destination. According to the Global Vehicle Trust (GVT), which is funding the project, three skilled people can put an OX together in approximately 12 hours.
The project's mission is to transport people and goods to underdeveloped parts of the world. Later this year, a prototype OX is headed to India, where Shell, Murray and the GVT will test the vehicle in real-world conditions to see if the vehicle can be used to help impoverished, hard-to-reach places.
