Hala Mobility, an EV-as-a-service platform, has announced a partnership with iGowise Mobility to deploy 2,000 high-speed electric trikes for last-mile delivery operations in cities including Hyderabad and Bangalore. The partnership aims to address inefficiencies in last-mile logistics through purpose-built, anti-topple electric vehicles manufactured in India.
Under the agreement, iGowise will supply its BeiGo electric pickup trikes, which feature greater cargo capacity and stability compared to traditional two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws. The vehicles will be deployed across various sectors including e-commerce, perishable goods delivery, and quick commerce.
"The biggest challenge in last-mile logistics is balancing speed, cost-efficiency, and rider comfort," said Srikanth Reddy, CEO of Hala Mobility. "With iGo's innovative BeiGo electric trike, we are introducing a solution that makes electric mobility not just sustainable but also operationally superior."
Sravan Kumar Appana, CEO and co-founder of iGowise Mobility, stated that their vehicles aim to reduce emissions while enhancing safety and comfort for riders, along with providing cost savings for logistics partners.
Hala Mobility recently raised INR 51 crore and plans to deploy 10,000 electric vehicles by December 2025 as part of its effort to electrify India's logistics sector. The company offers electric vehicles through rent, lease, or subscription models, while also providing integrated services including battery swapping and fleet analytics.
The partnership comes as India works toward its target of having 80 million electric vehicles on roads by 2030. The electric mobility sector has seen growing interest as businesses seek to reduce operational costs and meet sustainability requirements, while the government continues to promote cleaner transportation alternatives through various incentive programs.
Industry analysts note that purpose-built electric vehicles for specific commercial applications represent a growing segment within India's EV market, with last-mile delivery being a particularly suitable use case due to predictable routes and the ability to establish fixed charging or battery-swapping infrastructure.
