Thane-based Lith Pwr Mobility has partnered with Tork Motors and Honda Power Pack Energy India for 3-wheeler EV operations in India.
Under this partnership, electric 3-wheelers will be powered by Tork Motors’ powertrain and Honda will provide the Battery as a Service (BaaS) swapping solution. Commercial operations for Battery-As-A-Service (BaaS) have commenced and the first stint in Bengaluru already hosts multiple swapping stations to smoothen its operations.
Lith Pwr Mobility has successfully executed its pilot project in Thane, Maharashtra, in 2021, noted Manish Agarwal, Founder of Lith Pwr. He said, “The three-wheeler (auto-rickshaw) industry is considered a major source of pollution in last mile connectivity services. Our mission is to provide eco-friendly rides for daily commutes in metro cities with zero downtime on a swappable battery pack.”
The broader objective behind this project is to enhance the availability of green mobility in the country and create a pollution-free and peaceful environment by cutting down on noise. This partnership comes onsite with the policies being drafted by NITI Aayog to promote battery swapping in India.
