Details are scarce regarding the battery pack, however, our sources did reveal a range of about 200 km, with a charge time of 2 hours. Nevertheless, fast charging capability is also expected in the future. Additionally, the company will also introduce a Fleet Management System (FMS) on the new OSM M1KA HCV, which will also real-time track the truck with detailed notifications regarding the location and the estimated time of arrival/ departure. The upcoming OSM M1KA HCV will be locally built at the company's plant in Faridabad.
Moreover, Omega is targeting the customer segment which is a combination of owners-cum-drivers and fleet owners. As said, the OSM M1KA HCV can be used for multiple applications including courier, goods distribution, e-commerce, and FMCG among others. Omega Seiki Mobility intends to be the fastest-growing brand in the commercial electric vehicle segment and is eyeing 1,000 touchpoints by FY 2024. OSM added more than 100 dealerships last year, inaugurating an average of 10 dealerships per month.
