OKA Holdings Pty Ltd is the legal entity behind the revitalisation and commercial scale-up of the OKA vehicle platform. Trading as OKA Australia, the company was established in 2024 to acquire and commercialise the IP, assets and brand of the iconic OKA all-terrain vehicle business, completing the acquisition on 1 October 2025. OKA Australia owns the OKA brand, Gen-5 platform design, all engineering documentation (including legacy vehicles) and the tooling required for production. Its core focus is to commercialise and scale the Gen-5 platform, a heavy-duty, Australian-designed all-terrain vehicle with a 40-year legacy, using a capital-efficient production model and an international licensing / distributed-IP strategy built on recurring revenue, royalty streams and long-term value creation.

No. OKA Australia does not operate a traditional in-house manufacturing facility. Instead, it licenses and contracts production through a capital-efficient, modular sub-assembly model. Key proprietary components, such as the chassis and cab, are manufactured under OKA's direct oversight with partners in Australia and supplied to regional assembly and licensing partners worldwide, who carry out final assembly for their local markets. This scales production efficiently without the fixed overheads of a full-scale plant, while retaining control over IP, quality and core component supply. OKA also maintains a core R&D capability supporting product evolution, prototyping and technology integration.

OKA operates a capital-efficient, IP-led model that monetises its proprietary platform and brand across multiple scalable streams. Overseas IP licensing: international partners undertake final assembly and regional distribution, paying upfront licence fees and ongoing royalties for high-margin, recurring income. Sustainment & data revenues: recurring revenue across the vehicle lifecycle via centrally owned parts supply, maintenance and refurbishment, plus telematics enabling predictive maintenance and subscription services. Vehicle-as-a-Service: in Australia, OKA contract-builds and leases vehicles under multi-year contracts in mining, defence, utilities and emergency response. Limited-edition custom builds: a small number each year for the expedition and enthusiast market. Brand-driven income: apparel, collaborations and media partnerships from a loyal legacy following.

OKA's advantage lies in its proprietary cab-chassis design, modular engineering and capital-efficient licensing model. Unlike global OEMs focused on mass production, or aftermarket players modifying base vehicles, OKA purpose-built its Gen-5 platform for industrial and extreme off-road use from the ground up, engineered for durability, high payload, off-road performance, remanufacturing and multi-role adaptability across mining, defence, emergency response and adventure. By controlling chassis and cab production, integrating globally supported Tier-1 parts and maintaining strict quality standards across all builds, OKA ensures consistency, performance and serviceability at scale, a durable moat that is difficult for others to replicate.

Core to OKA's IP is its proprietary chassis architecture and how it performs under real-world conditions. A competitor could scan the chassis geometry, but it is not the external shape that defines structural behaviour. A replica would perform very differently under torsional load and sustained heavy payloads off road. Performance and durability stem from controlled welding sequencing and procedures, defined fixture tolerances and fabrication techniques that collectively determine residual stress, stiffness and fatigue tolerance, governing how load paths move through the chassis. Suspension mounting geometry is integral to the architecture, efficiently transferring torque to the ground while maintaining structural integrity under full articulation and payload. For over 40 years OKA has refined these durability and capability parameters, engineering for durability and capability first, with the manufacturing discipline to support it.

Post-acquisition, OKA rationalised 13,500 parts into the 2,500 that make up the Gen-5 platform, with a complete design review and digitalisation built for control across IP, ERP, MRP, engineering and supply chain systems. Every part is categorised into four control categories. Core IP assemblies: high-value, protected assemblies (bare chassis, cabs and specific tooling) produced in Australia under OKA's direct supervision. Minor assemblies: low-risk fabricated assemblies. Via a NASDAQ-listed partner, OKA accesses a network of 4,500 global fabricators delivering in under 6 weeks, unlocking ~40% BOM reduction above 50 units p.a. and insulating OKA from supply-chain risk. Major components: engines, gearboxes, transfer cases, axles and steering, sourced from established multinationals such as Cummins, Allison and ZF. Generic minor components: widely available items such as steering wheels, seating and batteries. The Gen-5 single and dual-cab vehicles OKA assembles with Walkinshaw Automotive Group in Australia comprise 250 sub-assemblies, with the dressed chassis and cab married at the end of the line prior to final QA.

OKA balances near-term practicality with longer-term transition. Diesel remains the dominant requirement in remote, heavy-duty use, but most commercial customers are already asking about future-proofing, running diesel today and converting or integrating alternative power within 5–10 years. Remanufactured engines: adopting remanufactured Cummins engines removes ~85% of engine-manufacturing emissions and lowers build cost, while maintaining performance. Hybrid & adjunct power: exploring diesel-electric hybrids, plug-in battery packs and maturing battery-swap concepts. Technology-agnostic integration: OKA acts as integrator rather than EV-technology investor, letting partners prove their tech on OKA's proven chassis without single-bet risk to shareholder capital. Hydrogen: early-stage work (e.g. with Vytas on green hydrogen-on-demand) worth following.
