The scope of the collaboration includes development of complete products and components, including battery packs, along with efficiency and performance improvements for Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) existing portfolio of electric vehicles.
Omega Seiki Mobility and Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT), Delhi have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for joint working on Electric Vehicle technologies and advanced research today. The collaboration will be primarily aimed at innovating alternate energy powered vehicles and other emerging technologies in EV space, including efficiency and performance improvement of Omega Seiki Mobility’s existing vehicles.
The strategic collaboration between OSM – part of Anglian Omega Group of companies – and FITT – an industry interface organization established by the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) – will leverage Omega Seiki Mobility in terms of design, simulation, product development, prototyping and production of automotive components and full vehicle development of 2, 3, 4-wheel Electric Vehicles. OSM will be making its vehicles, design & manufacturing facilities and lab available for any prototyping, testing or sample manufacturing as part of this collaboration which will eventually subsidize FITT. Thus, contributing in scientific and technical research on Electric Mobility.
“We are excited to collaborate with FITT for exploring the valuable resources in alternative energy powered vehicles and other emerging technologies in the EV industry. Partnering with the best premier technical and research university will not only contribute to India but to the whole world, through excellence in scientific and technical education and research will ultimately serve as a treasured resource for industry and society as a whole.”
Mr. Uday Narang, Chairman, Anglian Omega Group
“E-mobility has arrived in India. This is a milestone occasion as it brings together two parties from different walks of life, who has the potential to work jointly towards this Global Disruption of Electric Mobility”
Dr. Anil Wali, Managing Director of FITT
The scope of collaboration includes:
- Design, simulation, product development, prototyping and production of automotive components and full vehicle development for Electric Vehicles e.g. Two, Three and Four wheel vehicles.
- Design and development of battery packs and components e.g. Li-Ion battery packs.
- Efficiency and performance improvement for Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) existing vehicles which shall include but not limited to, mileage, battery life, battery thermal management and other vehicle parameters.
- Power electronics development for the vehicle Telematics development for Electric Vehicles.
- OSM shall make its vehicles, design & manufacturing facilities and lab available for any prototyping, testing or sample manufacturing as part of this collaboration.
- FITT shall make available its lab, design, simulation facilities for projects identified under this MOU
Omega Seiki Mobility launched Rage & Rage+ on Auto Expo 2020, which will primarily cater to the B2B segment. The introduction of the vehicles will usher a whole new concept in emission-free cargo transportation and people movement. Going forward, the cargo vehicle will provide a much-needed impetus to companies in the B2B and ecommerce segment. Also, Omega Seiki will be rolling out electric two-wheelers by Diwali this year and electric pickup trucks within the next three years. Mr. Uday Narang discourses that the agreement over reducing dependency on China for components should be treated as a positive opportunity to make India a global component supply source.
