OX Delivers Expands in East Africa

The British electric truck manufacturer, OX Delivers, takes a new step with a $163 million contract.

The African continent is gradually moving towards more sustainable mobility solutions. This is evidenced by the major franchise agreement signed by OX Delivers. Known for its durable and cost-effective electric trucks, the manufacturer will deploy its services across East Africa. This contract is valued at $163 million and includes the delivery of a fleet of electric trucks, access to a technological platform, and maintenance services.

OX East Africa, the new entity created as part of this partnership, will oversee current operations in Rwanda. Gradually, it will expand to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Burundi. In three years, OX Delivers has already transformed the activities of 5,000 clients in Rwanda. Some of them have even seen their revenues quintupling thanks to this service.

Trucks designed for the Global South

The electric truck model from OX Delivers is designed to adapt to challenging road infrastructure. These vehicles are shipped in parts and assembled on-site. They offer an impressive load capacity of 2 tons and a range of 150 km. Combined with operating costs ten times lower than traditional alternatives, the British manufacturer’s trucks become an accessible option for small businesses.

Simon Davis, CEO of OX Delivers, is excited about this expansion: “This project reflects our ambition to supercharge trade in the Global South. Our innovative model has proven its effectiveness in Rwanda, and we look forward to extending it throughout the region.”

OX Delivers is paving the way for a transportation revolution, with a lasting positive impact on local economies and the development of trade in East Africa.
