Small Commercial Vehicles (SCVs) are in vogue! Preferred for inclusion by fleet operators for last-mile delivery, they are also the flag-bearers of all-electric drives. Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) has a strategy in place to exploit this trend to its advantage. For it to be successful, it has zeroed in on a technical partner in Valeo India (Valeo). The latter will collaborate to build a powertrain especially suited to the duty cycles of three-wheelers aimed at cargo transportation. OSM, part of the Anglian Omega Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Valeo to source the company’s electric powertrains for the ‘Rage+’ and ‘Rage+ Frost’ range. The two partners aim to deliver on the carbon emission reductions through the collaboration.

48V E-POWERTRAIN

The 48V electric powertrain system manufactured at Valeo’s Pune plant is known to constitute a reducer, an integrated motor, and an inverter to go along with the Powertrain Control Unit (PCU) for OSM’s cargo three-wheelers range comprising of ‘Rage+’ and ‘Rage+ Frost. The vehicles under the Rage+ brand, for instance, have already been deployed by several major ecommerce and logistics companies in India.
