Billions of people live in developing countries that suffer from a lack of affordable transport, this stifles economic growth and prevents access to healthcare, education and opportunity.The Global Vehicle Trust (GVT) was founded by a UK charity to tackle this transport shortage. GVT's strategy is to dramatically reduce the price of motorised transport by creating an innovative pay-as-you-go shared transport service, the "OX Ecosystem". Due to a lack of suitable vehicles to enable this ecosystem GVT have worked with renowned automotive designer Prof. Gordon Murray to develop the unique OX truck which is the only vehicle purpose designed for the developing world conditions -- poor roads, heavy loads, minimal service infrastructure. 4 OX prototypes have been built and tested using a diesel powertrain.Our vision for this project is to demonstrate the commercial and technical feasibility of a zero emissions electric powertrain for the OX. This "eOX" will be the worlds' first electric vehicle (BEV) purpose designed for the developing world.

发展中国家有数十亿人缺乏负担得起的交通工具，这抑制了经济增长，阻碍了人们获得医疗保健、教育和机会。全球车辆信托基金（GVT）是由一家英国慈善机构成立的，旨在解决交通短缺问题。GVT的战略是通过创造一种创新的按需付费共享运输服务，即“OX生态系统”，来大幅降低机动运输的价格。由于缺乏合适的车辆来实现这一生态系统，GVT与著名的汽车设计师Gordon Murray教授合作开发了独特的OX卡车，这是唯一专为发展中国家的条件而设计的车辆-道路贫瘠，重载，服务基础设施最少。已经建造了4辆OX原型车，并使用柴油动力系统进行了测试。我们对这个项目的愿景是证明OX零排放电动动力系统的商业和技术可行性。这款“eOX”将是世界上第一款专为发展中国家设计的电动汽车（BEV）。
