Log9 Materials, a deep technology and advanced battery technology start-up based in Bengaluru, has partnered with Hala Mobility India, an EV logistics services platform headquartered in Hyderabad. The goal of this collaboration is to create a more sustainable and cleaner future for India's urban transport segment.
As part of the partnership, Hala Mobility will gain access to 1500 electric two-wheelers, named BzinessLite InstaCharged by Log9 Materials. Log9 Materials will play a key role in facilitating charging, repairing, and servicing aspects of these e-bikes.
Additionally, Log9 will provide Hala Mobility with access to rapid-charging stations.
These high-performance electric 2Ws, supplied by Log9 and utilised by Hala Mobility and its customers, will be deployed initially in a phased manner across Hyderabad, with plans to add up to 300 e-2Ws per month until the end of 2023. The deployment will later expand to other major Indian cities like Mumbai, Pune, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Vijayawada, and Bengaluru, making a significant impact on India's growing urban clean transportation landscape.
These commercial electric vehicles (CEVs) will cater to various B2B use cases, including e-commerce logistics, food delivery, and courier services in the Indian last-mile logistics sector.
Speaking on the partnership, Srikanth Reddy, Founder & CEO of Hala Mobility, said, “We at Hala Mobility recognise the varied needs of our customers, which necessitates providing both diverse and tailored solutions for EV users. And hence, we decided to embark on a transformative partnership with Log9."
In May 2023, Log9, in collaboration with EV manufacturer Quantum Energy, introduced BzinessLite, India's fastest charging e-2W cargo vehicle, boasting of charging within 12 minutes owing to Log9's superior LTO (Lithium-Titanium Oxide) battery-technology integration. This vehicle has range of 80-90 kilometres per charge.
Kartik Hajela, Co-Founder & COO of Log9 Materials, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing their joint commitment to making India's urban transportation cleaner, greener, and more environmentally-responsible through the electrification of last-mile logistics.
