· Bhago to Deploy Electric Two-Wheelers Pan India,
starting with Delhi and Bengaluru
· Platform enables EV ownership for Urban Mobility
workers
New
Delhi:
Bhago Mobility today announced the launch of a comprehensive electric mobility
platform designed to enable India’s growing urban mobility. In partnership with
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) and supported by Honda Power Pack
Energy India’s (HEID) battery-swapping infrastructure, the company plans to
deploy electric two-wheelers in Delhi and Bengaluru, with a Pan India rollout
over the next three years.
The
platform is designed for delivery partners, ride-hailing drivers, and last-mile
logistics workers, offering bundled access to electric vehicles, battery
swapping, compliance, and technology support through a single
subscription-based model.
The
platform offers on-demand access to
electric two-wheelers through a flexible ownership and usage model. The
platform is available to individuals who choose to own an EV, either for
personal use or to make it available for others to operate.
The
initiative is also aimed at creating
employment opportunities for individuals with minimal formal education,
requiring only a valid driving licence for them to benefit from the platform
enabling them to earn more than 20% on
their current earnings.
The
initiative addresses key challenges faced by urban mobility workers, including
high upfront vehicle costs that are deterrents for ownerships, charging
downtime, maintenance, and regulatory complexity. By integrating vehicle access
and energy infrastructure, the platform aims to improve worker uptime and
earning potential.
HMSI
will supply electric two-wheelers for the deployment, bringing its
manufacturing and engineering expertise to vehicles intended for
high-utilisation commercial use. HEID’s battery-swapping network will enable
near-instant battery replacement, allowing workers to continue operations with
minimal downtime.
Commenting
on this partnership, Mr. Mutsuo Usui, Director - Sales & Marketing, Honda
Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “At Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, our approach
to electric mobility is rooted in creating solutions that are sustainable,
reliable, and truly impactful for everyday riders. Our partnership with Bhago
Mobility reflects this commitment, bringing together Honda’s trusted quality
and innovation with a strong, technology‑driven battery‑swapping ecosystem.
Through the Activa e: integrated with HEID’s robust swapping network, we aim to
deliver safe, efficient, and productivity‑enhancing mobility solutions that minimize
downtime for India’s mobility workforce. We deeply value the synergy of this
collaboration and remain fully committed to comprehensive and dependable after‑sales
support, ensuring long‑term trust and customer satisfaction.”
“Urban
mobility cannot be solved by a single company or a single product. It requires
a combination of people, technologies, and capabilities working together to
address real, on-ground challenges. That is why bringing together like-minded,
strategically aligned partners is critical. Our collaboration with Honda, built
on a strong relationship spanning over two decades starting from the
two-wheeler ecosystem, allows us to deliver robust engineering and a reliable
mobility solution. By combining our strengths with partners such as HEID, we
are able to offer a practical, scalable platform, whether individuals want to
operate the vehicle themselves for work or someone who wants to make it
available for others. The potential of this integrated approach is immense,
both in terms of impact and opportunity." said Mr. Aditya Goyal,
Managing Director of Bhago Mobility.
Bhago's
proprietary technology platform integrates background verification, operations
management, roadside assistance, and daily performance analytics to provide
workers with actionable insights on optimizing their earnings. Real-time
guidance helps drivers understand demand patterns, choose optimal routes, and
improve their service quality, directly translating to higher income potential.
The
initial rollout will focus on on-boarding delivery partners from e-commerce and
food delivery platforms, with plans to expand into ride-hailing and logistics
services. Operations will begin in Delhi and Bengaluru, with additional cities
to be added as the battery-swapping network expands.
Also,
Bhago Mobility is also focused on increasing women’s participation in India’s
transportation and logistics workforce. Through targeted outreach, specialised
training programmes, and dedicated support systems, the platform aims to enable
more women to enter non-traditional mobility roles. By creating safe, flexible,
and sustainable income opportunities, the initiative seeks to empower women and
their families while contributing to broader efforts to improve women’s labour
force participation in urban India.
