Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) continues to diversify its product portfolio. The company has launched its first electric people mover OSM Stream. Stream marks the company's foray into the electric three-wheeler, passenger vehicle segment. Priced at Rs.3.40 lakh (Ex-showroom, New Delhi) post Govt. Subsidy under the FAMEII outlay, according to Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman at OSM, is a milestone for the company. He said, "Today marks a significant day for OSM as we are venturing into the passenger segment. As the innovators of the green mobility space, OSM is poised to be at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution while leading the endeavour through its range of clean mobility solutions. With the Stream, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is aiming to tap the last-mile transportation segment with a best-in-class earning potential for the drivers and owners. The electric people mover will provide an improved earning potential of 20-25 per cent which ensures greater savings and greater profits as per Narang.

The design schema has the Stream measure 2870 mm long, 1450 mm wide, and 1810 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2120 mm and tips the scales at 0.760-tonne (760 kg). The vehicle has a gradeability of 10.2 degrees or 18 per cent. The front apron houses the OSM logo which in turn is flanked by halogen headlamps on either side. The housing also accommodates the turn indicators, and they are rather done tastefully. Right below the badging, a large mudguard doubles up as the nose on the apron. It shields the 10-inch CEAT and MRF make of tyres with a drum brake setup. The side profile shows the attention paid to ensuring ease of ingress and egress aided by a footboard. Giving a sense of space, the skeletal structure does breathe fresh air into the segment.
