Emobi Manufacturing Private Limited has unveiled the AKX LS, a low-speed electric two-wheeler tailored for business-to-business fleets. This new model is designed to bolster last-mile delivery services, catering to the 30% of delivery riders in India without a driving license for high-speed vehicles. The vehicle is expected to be available soon, with a price range anticipated to be between INR 85,000 and INR 95,000.
The AKX LS comes with a robust lithium-ion battery pack, offered in two versions: a 1.5 kWh pack using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry and a 2.3 kWh pack with Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistry. Designed for efficiency and regulatory compliance, it includes a bespoke motor that delivers peak performance at low speeds. The LFP model boasts a range of up to 75 km per charge, while the NMC model can reach up to 120 km, catering to the swift needs of delivery services. Additionally, the vehicle’s rapid charging feature enables a full battery recharge in just 30 minutes, significantly boosting operational efficiency for businesses requiring fast service.
In a significant partnership with Livaah Innovations, Emobi has engineered the AKX battery pack to work seamlessly with Livaah’s solar hybrid inverters. Consequently, the battery can serve as a home power backup, providing added value to B2C customers who opt for Livaah inverters. Emobi continues to target the B2B segment, positioning the AKX as an optimal solution for gig economy workers in delivery services. Meanwhile, Livaah is marketing the versatile battery packs to the consumer sector, bridging the gap between consumer and commercial requirements.
Bharath Rao, Founder and CEO of Emobi, emphasized that the company provides advanced features such as geo-fencing, live tracking, and vehicle immobilization. These capabilities assist fleet managers in maintaining oversight of their operations. Consequently, the AKX LS is positioned as a dependable option for last-mile delivery services and bike taxi operations, with the possibility of future global expansion.
