Omega Seiki launches India's first Electric CV [Oct 19, 2021]
Omega Seiki Mobility unveils M1KA SCV
Omega Seiki Mobility has unveiled India's first electric small commercial vehicle - M1KA
Omega Seiki Mobility Pvt. Ltd. has taken the veils off the country’s first-ever electric SCV (small commercial vehicle) ‘M1KA’ . The M1KA is the brand’s first attempt in the four-wheeled commercial vehicle space. With an electric powertrain on-board, it marks the beginning of a new segment altogether.
The company claims that it will start accepting bookings for the first 2,000 units by the last quarter of this year. The company affirms that the deliveries will begin by sometime next year. Talking of the price, the brand has not revealed it yet. However, OSM folks claim that it will be around Rs. 15 lakh, excluding subsidy.
On the front, it gets a set of trapezoidal headlamps with LED DRLs and projectors lenses. The turn indicators are LEDs too. Around the sides, it gets a set of alloy wheels, which most probably will be replaced with functional steel wheels on the production model.
The M1KA is equipped with a high-voltage electric powertrain, comprising a 90 kWh NMC battery pack and an electric motor with a peak torque of 347 Nm. OSM M1KA will come with a 5-speed manual gearbox to ensure there’s enough grunt at all times.
How long will it go on a full charge?
The M1KA will run up to 250 km on a single charge. As for the charging time, the brand claims that the battery pack will take around 4 hours for a full charge with the DC fast charger in place.
The claimed figure for the payload capacity stands at 2 tonnes. It is one of the highest figures in its class. The M1KA has a 6-leaf suspension on the front and a 7-leaf setup for the rear to support the payload and weight of the battery. The deck measures 10-feet, diagonally.
Omega Seiki Mobility is coming up with a next-generation electric commercial vehicle to further solidify its mission to develop net-zero carbon mobility.
