Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) is the mobility arm of the Anglian Omega Network. Focussed on providing green and practical smart solutions for e-commerce, cargo and logistics companies, the company unveiled the M1KA ahead of its commercial rollout slated for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2021. Claimed to be the first electric Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV), it is engineered to capitalise on the current SOPs and favourable market conditions, according to Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman, Omega Seiki Mobility. Speaking on the sidelines of the unveiling, Narang said, “The EV market is growing especially in the commercial vehicles segment on the back of cost-effectiveness, sustainable solutions and increasing support from the centre and the respective state governments. The current SOPs and favourable environment motivate us to expand our EV offerings for our customers.” Thrilled at the prospects of the M1KA, team OSM, added Narang, “The next-generation electric commercial vehicle will further solidify our mission to attain net-zero carbon mobility solutions.”

In a transition to four-wheeler SCVs from its three-wheeler product offerings, OSM, as per Narang is confident of succeeding in its first attempt. The M1KA is not only claimed to be green from the tailpipe emissions perspective, it is also claimed to be a practical net-zero carbon mobility solution that is customisable in keeping with the customer requirements. With bookings expected to open in Q42021, buyers can book the M1KA with a token amount of Rs.2000. Delivery of the M1KA is expected to follow suit by the second to the third quarter of 2022 (Q2-Q3 2022). Tightlipped on the commercials, one expects the M1KA to launch at a ballpark price of Rs.15-16 lakh.
