Basic Utility Vehicles for Rural Transportation

The Basic Utility Vehicle is a vehicle for change.  It is a simple, rugged, low cost, low weight vehicle that is easy to operate, maintain and repair.  Designed for rural off-road areas and heavy payloads, the BUV has high torque and does not require shifting or a clutch.  The rural parts of Africa need a vehicle that is "appropriate" for their geography.  They have low population density, and vast distances with terrible road conditions.  Our primary mission has been to provide a vehicle that is safe and manageable for people in these areas.

BUV Performance Features: 20 mph 1200 lb payload 50+ mpg diesel Ability to power other devices (water pump, mill, etc)
