History
Coxx Mobile Systems, formerly known as “Alco” was founded in 1916 by Alphons Cox (Al-Co). Alphons started with the manufacturing of wheels, followed by simple farmers carts. Right from the start the company has been a pioneer in technology and innovations. Since the 1930s, Alco was producing complete vehicles and various types of trailers on a larger scale.
In 1960, Alphons’ only son Gerard took over the company and anticipated on increased demand to luxury transportation- and distribution. With Gerard, the company specialized in commercial vehicles- and trailers, especially boat trailers.
In 1974, after the premature death of Gerard, his son René took over. René, a technical and innovative genius, continued and expanded the innovative character of the company. Not only did he developed unique low floor chassis and customized vehicles, he also added innovative productontdevelopment to the portfolio. In 1990 an unique air suspension has been developed for low weight commercial vehicles as well as the introduction of an electrical car. In 1994 Alco has won with this MicroCar the 'Electrical Car of the Year'-award!
Innovation and development have become the company's unique selling points and in 1997 René decided to reduce the portfolio in order to focus on developing specialized chassis and trailers. To reinforce this proposition and to and to distinguish himself from the German company "Al-ko", which became more operating in the same market, Alco was rebranded as “Coxx Mobile Systems”.
In 2014, after 40 years of dedication, René passed on the baton to the next generation: Robert.
Robert is now proudly leading a dynamic company with over 100 years of heritage. To preserve this knowledge and to market the high-quality products, the company is now focussing on standardizing and creating more volume in the main productlines: the X-Low Low Floor Chassis and the LiftBoxx Smart Distribution Solutions.
In 2015 Robert seals the deal with an American minibus producer to develop and supply all of their chassis for the US market and beyond. This game-changing product also changes the way of working at Coxx. Volume production is started and Coxx Mobile Systems USA has been founded to service and supply the USA and Canada.
The X-Low chassis is nominated as most innovative product of 2016 by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, after it had been reinvented to a modular system out of high strength S700MC steel. The components of this lightweight chassis are made in series, while the 'Meccano-like' principle provides custom dimensions and quick assembly. This made the pricepoint drop and opened up new markets for Coxx.
In 2017 Coxx Mobile Systems UK Ltd. was founded, locally led by a team of experienced and well-known minds from the industry, challenging the monopoly in the market with high quality Coxx chassis and solutions.
