A UK-based company is on a mission to make goods haulage easier and cleaner for producers in developing nations. Now thanks to a multi-million-dollar deal, its electric-truck-as-a-service model is about to expand in Rwanda and neighboring regions. We first crossed paths with the Ox truck more than 10 years ago, with acclaimed F1 designer Gordon Murray reportedly involved in its creation.

OX Delivers utilises purpose-built electric trucks to transport goods across rural Rwanda. Jean-Paul is a Rwanda-based farmer who sells chilli peppers to an exporter in the capital Kigali, nearly 170km from his farm in Tyazo. In the past, he had to load 100kg sacks of peppers onto three bicycles, push them to the nearest town, then load them onto a bus for a seven-hour journey to Kigali. Finally, he transferred the peppers to three motorbikes for delivery to the warehouse.
