Honda Power Pack Energy India, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Japan, has partnered with Bhago Mobility, an Indian innovator in sustainable transportation, to launch a green fleet management service aimed at enhancing last-mile delivery solutions for the electric vehicle (EV) segment. The collaboration introduces Honda e:Swap’s battery swap technology, enabling EV fleets to maintain maximum uptime by quickly swapping out discharged batteries with fully charged ones.
Bhago Mobility will deploy electric vehicles at strategic locations in Bangalore and Delhi, supported by dedicated hubs providing electric cargo vehicles 24/7. These vehicles, equipped with swappable battery packs, will be stationed within a 10 km radius of every metro station, ensuring reliable, convenient, and sustainable mobility services. The initiative offers a green alternative for commuting and cargo transportation.
Marking the launch on World EV Day, Takuya Taniguchi, President and CMD of Honda Power Pack Energy India, said, “This initiative reflects our commitment to providing sustainable, efficient, and cutting-edge solutions for urban mobility. We believe this step will significantly contribute to the city’s transition towards a greener future.”
Bhago Mobility plans to roll out 100 vehicles within a few months of 2024, with a target of reaching 10,000 vehicles by 2028. Aditya Goyal, Founder of Bhago Mobility, stated, “Our shared vision for sustainable transportation aligns perfectly with our goal to revolutionise fleet management and last-mile delivery in India. With Honda e:Swap’s advanced battery swapping technology, we are confident in delivering superior service to our clients while significantly reducing our carbon footprint.”
In addition to fleet operations, Bhago Mobility is developing a dedicated “solar-powered hub” for 360-degree green operations, reinforcing its commitment to eco-friendly practices.
