Today on Drive Wire, *The Drive* discusses the news that [McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray has revealed the Ox](<https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/worlds-first-flat-pack-truck-revealed>), the world's first flat-packed truck created for developing markets. Designed by Murray for charitable organization Global Vehicle Trust, or GVT, [the Ox is a simple truck that comes in a flat-packed kit](<https://www.topgear.com/car-news/big-reads/can-flat-pack-truck-save-world>), much like IKEA furniture. Three men can reportedly assemble the rig in less than 12 hours without any complex tools; when complete, it can carry up to two tons of cargo. For more, check out the video above.
