The Global Vehicle Trust teamed up with Gordon Murray Design to create the OX.

The wheels are a little small for genuine off-roading efforts, but otherwise, this is a hell of a package for countries that need it.

The OX is two-wheel drive but thanks to excellent geometry, it should prove a more than capable off-roader.

Simple, rugged, cheap and practical are all words that can describe the OX.

Plus they look like old forward-control Land Rovers or Pinzgauers and that's always cool!

Three-across seating means you have a couple buddies to help you get unstuck when you're being cheeky behind the wheel.

When broken down into its flat-packed state, it's possible to fit six OXes in a single 40-foot-tall shipping container.
