EMO Energy and electric two-wheeler maker e-Sprinto have forged a partnership. To launch 8,000 electric scooters in India in the present financial year. The electric scooters will mainly serve the quick commerce and last mile delivery verticals. Where running and charging cycles in a day are key challenges.

The partnership is a combination of e-Sprinto’s electric scooters and EMO Energy’s ZenPac cooled batteries. The companies are looking for a commercial solution which can handle the tough cycle runs in commercial electric mobility.

Deployment of 8,000 Electric Scooters in Phases

The entire fleet would include the low-speed and high-speed electric scooters of e-Sprinto. Instead of rolling out the scooters all at once, these will be launched phase-wise in different cities in the fiscal year.

The move is expected to help delivery players and fleet owners with the growing use of electric two-wheelers in the urban logistics space.

Key aspects of the deployment are as follows:

  • 8,000 electric scooters to be deployed.
  • It will have both low speed and high speed versions.
  • It will be launched in multiple Indian cities.
  • The launch will be phased over the fiscal year.
  • It will be used for quick-commerce and last mile delivery.

Atul Gupta, Founder and Chairman of e-Sprinto, said “This collaboration brings together two complementary strengths - e-Sprinto’s electric vehicle platforms and EMO Energy’s battery technology, to create solutions designed for the scale and reliability requirements of commercial mobility.”

ZenPac Battery Technology At the Heart of the Deal

The key component of the deal is ZenPac battery technology offered by EMO Energy for commercial electric mobility that utilizes liquid cooling systems. While the typical use case for personal electric scooters is not as intensive as the one related to delivery fleets. The latter can run for prolonged periods of time and be charged several times a day. It adds an additional strain on the performance of the battery. Its ability to dissipate the heat generated during operation.

Here are the technologies implemented in ZenPac to meet these needs:

  • Active thermal management
  • Battery intelligence
  • Energy optimization
  • Monitoring in real time
  • Operational insights prediction

Also, the battery system is linked to the charging infrastructure and battery intelligence software developed by EMO Energy.

Reliability and Efficiency are Key for Fleet Operations

For commercial operations, the reliability of an electric scooter plays an important part. As it determines the uptime of the vehicle. The more time spent on charging or other types of interventions means the less productive the whole fleet.

Sheetanshu Tyagi, Co-founder and CEO of EMO Energy said, "Scaling commercial electric mobility requires vehicles and energy systems to work together around real-world operating conditions. This partnership with e-Sprinto combines a purpose-built vehicle platform with EMO’s battery technology, intelligence layer, and charging infrastructure to create a reliable energy ecosystem for high-utilisation mobility.”

More Commercial Electric Vehicles on the Road

This deployment occurs along with the growth in the number of commercial fleets powered by EMO. According to the report, during the first quarter of the financial year, EMO-powered commercial fleets traveled 93.69 million kilometers, made 18.74 million deliveries and consumed 2,810.7 MWh of energy. The number of vehicles that the company was operating also increased from 15,800 vehicles in April to more than 19,000 vehicles in June.

In the case that there are 8,000 more electric scooters that are going to be deployed by the partnership. This is a good indicator of how battery management, charging facilities, and the vehicle itself are considered as an integrated part of the commercial EVs operation.

ELCTRIK Speaks

EMO Energy and e-Sprinto’s collaboration is a good initiative to support the rapidly growing commercial EV ecosystem in India. The use of 8,000 electric scooters indicates the fact that electric vehicles are gradually crossing over from being used by individual consumers to being deployed in tougher delivery situations. But the crucial question remains whether or not the battery and charging ecosystem will be able to offer reliable services on a daily basis.
