This Flatpack Electric Van Is The Uber For Potatoes! |Fully Charged Show Podcast with OX Delivers

From Everything Electric Show.

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen is joined by Simon Davis, CEO and Co-founder of OX Delivers. This UK-based electric vehicle company is creating flat-pack electric trucks specifically designed for East Africa.

Beyond building a sturdy and durable electric van, OX is revolutionizing the business model. They’re operating as a vehicle-as-a-service platform for farmers in Rwanda, essentially an ‘Uber for potatoes.’ OX Delivers is not only providing essential logistics services at a fraction of the cost of local alternatives but also empowering their customers with greater resilience and profitability.
