OSM M1KA 3.0
Combining zero-emission technology with strong payload capacity and real-world range, the OSM M1KA 3.0 redefines the future of commercial transport in India.
The OSM M1KA 3.0 marks a significant step forward in India’s rapidly evolving commercial electric vehicle (EV) landscape. Manufactured by Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), the M1KA 3.0 is a fully electric medium-duty commercial truck, designed to deliver clean, efficient, and high-torque performance tailored to urban and intra-city logistics.
As sustainability becomes a key focus for both logistics firms and urban policy makers, the OSM M1KA 3.0 serves as a future-ready solution that brings zero-emission capability into one of the most vital transportation segments in India. The vehicle is aimed squarely at fleet operators, SMEs, last-mile delivery providers, and e-commerce platforms looking to reduce fuel costs and environmental footprint without compromising on payload or performance.
Powertrain & Performance
The OSM M1KA 3.0 is equipped with a powerful permanent magnet synchronous motor that delivers 170 horsepower (127 kW) and a massive 1,650 Nm of torque. This level of torque — almost instantaneous due to the nature of EV powertrains — enables the M1KA 3.0 to pull heavy loads with ease, even in stop-and-go city conditions.
The truck’s top speed is electronically limited to 90 km/h, striking a balance between safety and efficiency. While that may not seem high, it is ideal for city and regional operations where speed is typically constrained by traffic, load safety, and fuel optimization goals.
Battery & Range
One of the standout features of the M1KA 3.0 is its 90 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery pack, chosen for its thermal stability, long cycle life, and safety. LFP chemistry also reduces dependency on cobalt, aligning with OSM’s push for sustainable and ethically sourced components.
The battery pack allows the M1KA 3.0 to achieve a real-world range of up to 180–200 km per charge, depending on load, terrain, and driving conditions. This range comfortably supports most intra-city routes, as well as short inter-city hauls, particularly for e-commerce deliveries, FMCG distribution, and urban logistics.
Charging time is also practical — it supports both standard AC and fast DC charging, with fast-charging options capable of topping up the battery in just a couple of hours, significantly reducing downtime.
Payload Capacity & Utility
Despite being an electric truck, the M1KA 3.0 does not compromise on payload. It boasts a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 7.2 tonnes and can handle a payload capacity of approximately 3.5 to 4 tonnes, making it comparable to diesel trucks in the same category.
The truck features a versatile cargo deck with customizable configurations to suit various applications — from dry freight boxes and refrigerated units to platform beds and high-side tippers. This flexibility makes it suitable for multiple sectors, including logistics, dairy, pharma, construction, and more.
Its low-maintenance electric drivetrain also ensures fewer moving parts, which means reduced wear and tear, no engine oil, no clutch plates, and longer service intervals. This translates into lower operational costs over time, which is crucial for fleet businesses focused on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
Cabin & Ergonomics
The OSM M1KA 3.0 is also designed with driver comfort and safety in mind. The cabin is spacious and ergonomically laid out, featuring:
-
Digital instrument cluster
-
Touchscreen infotainment (in higher trims)
-
Adjustable seating
-
Air conditioning (optional)
-
Power steering and tilt-adjust steering column
-
Regenerative braking system
The driving experience is smooth and quiet, with minimal vibration and zero tailpipe emissions, offering a cleaner work environment for drivers — especially important in congested and polluted city zones.
Safety Features
The M1KA 3.0 comes with a host of passive and active safety features, including:
-
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
-
Reverse parking sensors and camera
-
Hill-hold assist
-
Over-speed warning
-
Battery Management System (BMS) with thermal protection
The reinforced cabin structure and battery enclosure meet global safety norms, further enhancing peace of mind for fleet operators.
Market Positioning & Target Audience
With the government’s push for electric mobility through schemes like FAME-II and state-level EV policies, the OSM M1KA 3.0 arrives at the right time. It is targeted at:
-
Urban logistics fleets
-
Food and grocery delivery operators
-
Municipal waste and utility services
-
Distribution companies operating fixed regional routes
-
Corporate entities with sustainability mandates
As fuel prices remain volatile and environmental regulations tighten, the cost advantage of electric over diesel becomes increasingly attractive. For operators who run 100–150 km daily routes, the M1KA 3.0 can offer massive savings in fuel and service costs, along with government incentives.
Final Thoughts
The OSM M1KA 3.0 is a smart, capable, and environmentally responsible choice in the commercial EV segment. It combines real-world utility with modern electric performance, allowing Indian businesses to transition toward cleaner logistics without sacrificing efficiency or profitability.
In a market where operational cost savings, emission compliance, and reliability matter most, the M1KA 3.0 stands tall as one of the most compelling electric medium-duty trucks available today.
💰 Price (Ex-Showroom, India):
Rs 25 To Rs 28 lakh, depending on configuration, battery variant, and customization options.
🛻 Key Factors Affecting Price:
-
Optional configurations (refrigerated, high-side deck, box body, etc.)
-
Charging equipment (standard vs fast charger)
-
Government subsidies or FAME-II benefits (which can reduce on-road cost in some states)
