Lith Pwr Mobility Pvt. Ltd. has launched its own brand of electric three-wheelers in the Indian market. The Thane-based company has partnered with Tork Motors Pvt. Ltd. and Honda Motor Company, Japan’s subsidiary Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt. Ltd., for its three-wheeler operations in India.
Under this partnership, Lith Pwr’s electric three-wheeler will be powered by Tork Motors’ powertrain, and Honda will provide the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) swapping solution. Thus, Lith Pwr also became the first company in India to run its own electric three-wheeler fleet powered by Honda Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS).
Commercial operations for BaaS have commenced, and Bengaluru, Karnataka, already hosts multiple swapping stations to smoothen its operations. Furthermore, the company has successfully executed its pilot project in Thane, Maharashtra, in 2021.
Tork Motors has been working with electric 3-wheeler OEMs since 2017. Lith Pwr is not the first company Tork Motors supplies powertrain to, and there are many more. Tork Motors’ powertrain uses an Axial flux motor supported by the CAN-based controller to dish out maximum power. Thus, Tork Motor claims it has an overall efficiency of 94 per cent. Furthermore, it also comes with a 2-speed gearbox that offers the optimum output.
EEEVV – the brand is owned by Lith Pwr Mobility. EEEVV intends to regulate the EV sector by introducing a complete ecosystem. This will comprise a number of networks like sales, service, charging and parking as well as leasing.
On the occasion of the new launch, the founder of Lith Pwr, Manish Agarwal, said that with the vast expertise and experience in electric automotive of its associate partners, the company is contributing to nation-building. Furthermore, he said that the three-wheeler or autorickshaw industry is one of the major sources of pollution in last-mile connectivity services. Thus, the company aims to provide eco-friendly rides for daily commutes in metro cities with zero downtime, thanks to a swappable battery pack.
The partnership also comes at the onsite of the policies drafted by NITI Aayog to promote battery swapping in India. It will also enable Tork & Honda to jointly provide the most advanced and efficient technology for the electric three-wheeler segment.
