Clean Motion Set to Manufacture e-3Ws in India

Clean Mobility Solution India, a subsidiary of Swedish electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Clean Motion, has declared that it will establish a manufacturing plant in Pune to locally and indigenously create its flagship product, the Zbee electric passenger three-wheeler.

As per Clean Mobility Solution India, the Zbee would be manufactured in India and exported to international markets. Furthermore, the corporation will establish a comprehensive EV charging infrastructure via operating clusters. Each cluster will be outfitted with parking, plug-in chargers, and swappable batteries to accommodate 20-25 Zbee vehicles in fleet operations.

Clean Motion has also obtained a USD 1 million investment from Finvolve, a joint venture between India Accelerator and Finolutions, to help it expand its operations in India. Finvolve will invest an additional USD 3-5 million over the next two years to further expand.

Clean Mobility Solution India will focus on first- and last-mile services that connect critical areas such as metro stations, malls, colleges, and companies. The Zbee will have a range of about 80 kilometers on a single full charge. It can hold three people, including the driver. Clean Motion invented the Clean Motion in Sweden.

"I am delighted to witness the collaboration between Clean Motion AB, an innovative Swedish mobility company, and India Accelerator. This partnership signifies a step towards addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change and the need to think differently about transportation. By combining the strengths of both nations, this collaboration aims to scale-up and contribute to solutions that meet the demands of the Indian market," said Jan Thesleff, Ambassador of Sweden to India.
