As the company, which was founded in 2020, prepares for the latest stage of its next-generation electric truck development, these roles will be vital to support the ramp up to continuous truck build, it added.
The company created the first purpose-built electric truck for the Global South. For less than US$1, it means a customer can transport a sack of goods to market across poor quality roads.
"We are creating a world-class team to deliver our mission to revolutionise the way the Global South does business," explained Natalie Dowsett, CCO and Co-Founder of OX Delivers.
"We have spent the past four years developing and validating our technology, building our infrastructure and proving out the as-a-Service model.
"Now, we are significantly expanding our UK team to deliver the next exciting phase of development of our all-electric truck and getting prepared for continuous truck build next year.
"At OX Delivers, we're supercharging African trade by improving access to clean, reliable, affordable transport in underserved markets."
Karolina Yeong, principal engineer at OX Delivers, added: "Working at OX Delivers is incredibly fulfilling.
"Getting to tackle complex technical challenges and having the opportunity to innovate cutting-edge solutions that transform into real-world impact is hugely rewarding. Being part of the OX team has provided a refreshing, new perspective on work culture and teamwork."
OX Delivers has performed strongly in the fist half, generating $527,000 of revenue and completing more than 1200 zero-tailpipe-emission journeys covering more than 62,000km.
