      by

      Okinawa Electric Scooter SalesOkinawa reports sales milestone of over 1,00,000 units in India in 2021 largely attributed to the family e-scooter success
      Okinawa has attained yet another milestone in its exciting journey as a new and leading electric vehicle brand in India. The company reports that sales have surpassed the 1,00,000 units milestone in India. This includes high-speed and low-speed models that Okinawa sells.
      Through 2021, Okinawa sales has been dominated by iPraise+ and Praise Pro electric scooter. Sales momentum has been helped largely by the locally manufactured iPraise+ and Praise Pro. They accounted for about 60 – 70 per cent share of yearly sales.
      Okinawa dealer network
      In order to improve its footprint and reach out to more and more buyers, Okinawa has focused on increasing its dealership network. This helps meet growing demand for its family e-scooters. Current dealership count stands at 400+ points spread across metro cities, Tier 2, Tier 3 cities, and rural markets.
      Okinawa Galaxy experience centre in Uttarakhand lets customers know more. In order to let customers better understand design and high-tech capabilities of its products, 50 more Okinawa Galaxy Stores will be inaugurated through the country in 2022.
      Okinawa Electric Scooter Sales In 2021
      Total investment through the next three years is earmarked at Rs 500 crore. Through Phase I, Rs 250 crore is to be invested. Gradually, investment will be increased over the coming years. Okinawa operates its own assembly line for motors and controls. Localisation is set to reach 100 per cent with the exception of battery cells. These units will continue to be imported. Okinawa is geared up to launch its new ‘High Speed Electric Scooter’ in Q1 2022.
      Okinawa riding experience
      In recent years, understanding of electric two-wheelers has gained mainstream attention. Better understanding has raised awareness around such products, and as a result purchases have improved. With companies reporting improved sales, manufacturers are taking the bull by its horns. R&D investments have improved, and the number of launches each year continues to increase.
      Stakeholder investments too have improved on the back of positivity. In a market that is still small by volume, Okinawa has been met with success when it comes to mass penetration of e2Ws in India. Through months of difficulty brought on by Covid19 pandemic, Okinawa is reputed as the second most selling E2W in India.
      Jeetender Sharma, MD and Founder of Okinawa Autotech, remarked of the milestone achievement, “We are glad and appreciative to those who expressed their belief in Okinawa and therefore helped us achieve this milestone. With our dynamic product selection and unique riding experiences, Okinawa has set new milestones in the mass penetration of Electric Two-Wheelers in India since its beginning.
      We’ve had only one strategy from the start: raise awareness and debunk all kinds of myths around EVs. We will continue to cater to the requirements of the purists, while also fulfilling the aspirations of a new base of the youth who have a very different approach with two-wheelers. We remain committed in our endeavour to serve our consumers with exciting new launches and curated experiences.” More

      by

      Royal Enfield 650 Modified By STG TrackerOther than 650cc Twins from Royal Enfield, no other motorcycle was able to touch four or even three-figure sales mark in November 2021
      Popularity of premium motorcycles has seen a rise over the last few years. However, the recent crisis courtesy of semiconductor chip shortages has put a dent in their sales figures in recent months. A total of 2,491 motorcycles from this segment with engine displacement above 500cc were sold across the country in November 2021.
      In comparison, during the same period last year, a total of 1,364 bikes from this category were sold which has translated to YoY growth of 82.62 percent. The top spot was taken by the 650cc Twins from Royal Enfield- Interceptor and Continental GT. Both motorcycles combined to generate a monthly volume of 2,154 units.
      Motorcycles 500cc+ Nov 2021 – RE 650 Twins Take Bulk Of Volume
      The 650 Twins accounted for a whopping 86.47 percent of market share in this segment. A total of 1,109 units of 650 Twins were sold in November last year which led to YoY growth of 94.23 percent. The second spot was occupied by Kawasaki Z900 which recorded a monthly volume of 49 units last month as opposed to 59 units sold in November last year. This led to a YoY degrowth of 17 percent.
      Triumph Garners Decent Volume
      The third spot was taken by Triumph Trident with 32 units dispatched across the country last month. Trident, which was launched earlier this year, is currently the most affordable offering by the iconic British brand in India. Kawasaki sold 31 units of Ninja 650 in November this year as opposed to 21 units sold during the same period last year. This translates to YoY growth of 47.62 percent.
      Nov 2021 Motorcycle sales 500cc+ segment
      Triumph sold 26 units of Street Triple last month which resulted in a YoY decline of 13.33 percent. During November last year, the British brand sold 30 units of the naked streetfighter in India. It was followed by the brand’s flagship motorcycle- Rocket III with a total of 24 units sold across the country. With 10 units of the power cruiser sold in November last year, a YoY growth of 71.43 percent was registered.
      Japanese brands show presence
      Flagship high-speed sports bikes such as Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, Ninja 1000 and Suzuki Hayabusa also made their presence felt with 18 units, 15 units and 17 units sold respectively last month. The adventure tourer range of Kawasaki- Versys, made it to the list with 1000cc and 650cc iterations. Both motorcycles accounted for respective volumes of 12 units and 11 units last month.
      This led to YoY growth of 71.43 percent and a YoY decline of 47.62 percent. Versys 650 was immediately followed by its nearest rival in the form of Suzuki V-Strom 650 at the twelfth spot. The Japanese bikemaker was able to sell only 10 units of the adventure tourer which translated to 16.67 percent.

      EPA's New, Higher Emissions Standards Will Mean a 40-MPG Fleet Average in 2026

      by

      The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized new emissions standards on Monday, December 20, that will go into effect with the 2023 model year and run through model year 2026. The EPA will set other standards for 2027 and later vehicles.The EPA said these stricter greenhouse gas emissions rules will provide $190 billion in net benefits to Americans, including lowering the price it costs to drive and creating health benefits from a cleaner environment.There’s general agreement that these are the strictest fuel-economy standards ever proposed, even higher than what President Obama asked for before President Trump rolled those rules back. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized its new rules for what it is calling the “most ambitious federal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks ever.” The new standards, which will go into effect for model year 2023 through 2026 vehicles, are a precursor to the next set of standards, which will affect 2027 model year and later vehicles.

      While the EPA technically sets tailpipe emissions limits, not fuel-economy standards (those are set by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA), these new regulations will of course impact the miles-per-gallon ratings of new cars and trucks. The new rules will mean that the fleet average will climb to around 40 mpg in 2026, compared to the 38-mpg average that appeared in earlier proposals. The most recent was from this past August, when the Biden administration said it would work to roll back Trump-era rules that loosened the emissions standards and would have resulted in more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and a fleet average of just 32 mpg. The new rules are even more stringent than those proposed by President Obama and are expected to prevent 3.1 billion tons of CO2 emissions from getting into the air through 2050.”Collectively, these standards are the strongest vehicle emission standards ever established for the passenger vehicle sector in the U.S.,” the pro-environment Climate Group said in a statement in response to today’s EPA’s announcement. NHTSA said in August that it would propose higher mpg requirements that would increase fuel efficiency by 8 percent a year for model years 2024 through 2026, resulting in an increase in the fleetwide average of 12 miles per gallon for model year 2026 vehicles, using model year 2021 as a baseline. The EPA isn’t only highlighting these improved fuel economy numbers, though. Instead the agency is talking about how lower GHG emissions will result in $190 billion in “net benefits” for Americans by reducing the amount of pollution in the air, improving public health and reducing the amount people have to spend on gasoline and diesel fuel by making their cars go further on each gallon. The new rules also deliver “more net benefits to consumers than the proposed rule showcasing how zero-emission vehicles are more affordable and more efficient for consumers,” the EPA said.

      Ford

      Chevrolet

      The EPA’s new, higher standards don’t mean automakers can’t build low-mpg vehicles, so gas-guzzling models like the Ford F-150 Raptor and the Chevrolet Silverado, which can drop as low as a measly 15 combined mpg in some configurations, can remain a part of Ford and GM’s plans. The trick is that the average needs to increase, which gives automakers more reason to offer high-mpg models and all-electric vehicles as well as models that get some of the EPA’s highest ratings, like the 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Blue (54 mpg) and the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (52 mpg).

      Drew Phillips/Hyundai

      The new rules could push new electric-vehicle and plug-in-hybrid sales to make up 17 percent of the U.S. market by 2026, the EPA said, adding that the new rules give automakers “adequate lead time for manufacturers to comply at reasonable costs.” The rules themselves, the EPA declares, are “based on sound science and grounded in a rigorous assessment of current and future technologies with supporting analysis that shows the standards are achievable and affordable.”Outside groups pressured the Biden administration to enact the higher GHG standards that were announced today. The Sierra Club said more than 200,000 people submitted comments to the EPA to strengthen the rules in September. Attorneys general from 21 states, the District of Columbia, and six cities also recommended to the EPA that it strengthen the rules.”We applaud the EPA for listening to the public and the climate science and acting swiftly to strengthen the federal clean car standards, our nation’s most powerful tool to slash emissions,” said Sierra Club president Ramón Cruz in a statement. “We urge the agency to get moving on the strongest possible long-term standards that rapidly accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles to protect the well-being of our communities by addressing the nation’s top source of pollution.”

      Startup Canoo Will Build Radical EVs in Arkansas and Oklahoma

      by

      The EV startup Canoo has shown off three podlike vehicles—a pickup truck, a delivery van, and a minivan—and said it will now build them in the United States starting next year.Canoo has canceled its original plan for contracting production to VDL Nedcar in the Netherlands, in part to avoid supply-chain issues.The electric pods will instead be built at a factory in Arkansas in 2022 before an Oklahoma facility begins production in 2023.American electric-vehicle startup Canoo has shown off three radically styled vehicles over the past few years and is now solidifying plans to put its podlike designs into production. Although Canoo had originally planned to outsource production of its vehicles to VDL Nedcar, a Dutch contract manufacturer, those plans have been scrapped. Instead, Canoo aims to build its first vehicles next year at a new plant in Arkansas—where it recently moved its headquarters—before a factory in Pryor, Oklahoma, goes online in late 2023.Canoo said the decision to switch manufacturing facilities from the Netherlands to the U.S. will help avoid major supply-chain complications and reduce shipping and tariff costs. The Arkansas plant was initially meant to build the company’s electric delivery vans, but it will now also produce the Lifestyle Vehicle, a seven-seat compact minivan.

      Canoo

      The new plans come with revised production targets. For 2022, Canoo is aiming to build between 3000 and 6000 units, up from its previous goal of 1000 cars. 2023 sees those targets rise to up to 17,000 units, versus the originally planned 15,000 vehicles. By 2024, Canoo aims to make at least 40,000 EVs and is targeting production of at least 70,000 Canoos in 2025.

      Canoo and VDL Groep (the parent company of VDL Nedcar) are still discussing a partnership in the future for the European market. VDL Nedcar is returning Canoo’s prepayment of $30.4 million from the prior production plans, but VDL Groep will also now buy $8.4 million in Canoo stock. The move to produce Canoos in the United States will help Canoo bring its vehicles to market more quickly while investing in high-tech manufacturing jobs for Americans, and still allows for the possibility of European production at a later date.

      EV Startup Nikola Delivers Its First Electric Semi Trucks to L.A. Customer

      by

      Nikola, an American electric-truck startup, has delivered its first two vehicles to a customer operating at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.The Tre BEV is an electric semi with a claimed 350 miles of range via a 753.0-kWh battery.If the pilot program goes well, Nikola plans to deliver 30 Tre BEVs and 70 Tre hydrogen fuel-cell trucks to the same company in the next two years.Electric-truck startup Nikola has had a bumpy ride. Last year, founder and executive chairman Trevor Milton stepped down amid fraud investigations by the government, prompting General Motors to scale back a deal with the nascent automaker. Milton was charged with fraud earlier this year, and Nikola switched its focus from its Badger pickup (originally intended to be built by GM) to its planned electric semi trucks. Late last week Nikola announced that it delivered the first examples of its Tre battery-electric trucks as part of a pilot program with one of its customers.

      Nikola

      The two Tre BEV trucks went to Total Transportation Services Inc. (TTSI), a trucking company operating at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports. The Tre BEV has a claimed range of 350 miles thanks to a 753.0-kWh battery, and a total of 645 horsepower allows for a claimed top speed of 75 mph. Nikola says that the truck can charge from 10 to 80 percent in two hours at up to 240 kW, and it has a gross combined vehicle weight rating of 82,000 pounds. Nikola is also planning a Tre FCEV with a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain that it claims can travel up to 500 miles.

      TTSI has a letter of intent from Nikola for 100 trucks following a trial program of two Tre BEVs and two Tre FCEVs. Nikola hasn’t said when TTSI will receive its Tre FCEV pilot trucks, but after the program ends, Nikola aims to deliver 30 Tre BEVs to the company in 2022 and 70 Tre FCEVs in 2023. Nikola and European partner Iveco also have a deal with the Hamburg Port Authority in Germany for the delivery of 25 Tre BEVs in 2022.

      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150cc Adventure Motorcycle Debuts

      by

      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle LaunchedInternationally, Yamaha Crosser 150 will serve as a perfect rival to the recently launched Honda CB150X
      After Honda, it’s time for its Japanese counterpart Yamaha to set foot in the entry-level adventure motorcycle space. Yamaha has launched Crosser 150 ABS in Brazil which will serve as the brand’s entry-level offering in the ADV segment. Prices start at R$ 15,590 (approx. INR 2.09 lakh).
      The motorcycle will be available in two variants- 150S and 150Z, the latter being priced at R$ 15,790 (approx. INR 2.12 lakh). It is offered with four colour options-Black Eclipse, Sports White, Competition Blue and Dakar Sand. Design of the Crosser 150 is in line with contemporary adventure bikes.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 – Design
      Crosser 150 features signature ADV highlights such as a tall stance and a rugged appearance with minimalistic body panels. The Z variant feels slightly more rugged thanks to a longer beak upfront and fork gaiters. However, both variants make use of a small headlamp and a tiny flyscreen, a slight departure from contemporary ADVs.
      Other highlights include fuel tank extensions with air scoops, arrowhead-shaped mirrors, and a side-mounted high-slung exhaust. A tall handlebar, with a high saddle and ground clearance, are other notable mentions when it comes to the styling of Crosser 150. Crosser 150 also receives a luggage mounting rack at rear which enhances its touring credentials.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      Features & Dynamics
      In terms of features, the bike is pretty basic with its semi-digital instrument console being the biggest highlight. Illumination of the motorcycle is taken care of by modest bulb-type lighting. Crosser 150 rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels which are shod with dual-purpose Metzeler Tourance tyres. These units are said to provide excellent grip while treading into off-road surfaces.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      While the suspension setup features simple telescopic forks upfront and a mono-shock at rear, there is plenty of travel on offer for undulated surfaces at both ends. Braking is carried out by a single disc brake at each wheel aided by ABS to avoid skidding while stopping aggressively.
      Powertrain Specs
      Powering Crosser 150 is a 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that kicks out 12.2 bhp of power and 12.74 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a five-speed gearbox. The best thing about this motor is that it can run on multiple types of fuel such as petrol, ethanol or both, which improves fuel efficiency.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      Considering its overall package, Crosser 150 could actually be a very good proposition in the Indian mass market if priced right. However, Yamaha isn’t likely to launch this entry-level ADV tourer to our shores anytime soon. But given the rise in popularity of adventure tourers in India in recent years, Yamaha would want to tap into this segment at some point in the future. More

      Ola Electric Scooter True Range 135 Kms – How To Achieve In Real World

      by

      Image – Bhavish Aggarwal
      Ola Electric has revealed the true range for the S1 Pro e-scooter which stands at 135km on a single charge
      The electric scooters from Ola generated a frenzy in the online world and continue to garner interest even four months after their unveiling due to various reasons. While electric vehicles are mobility solutions for the future, hesitancy in their acceptance remains even now. The primary reason behind this is range anxiety among the masses.
      People are still concerned about the distance an EV can travel on a single charge. Ola offers a claimed range of 181 kms on S1 Pro e-scooter which sounds impressive on paper. However, expecting this range in a real-world scenario would be unreasonable and the Bengaluru-based EV startup has now come up with an explanation for it.
      The company has said that the ARAI-certified range of 181 kms has been attained when tested under a controlled lab environment. However, such a condition would be vastly different when driving in a real-world scenario. Ola has also shared the true range of S1 Pro which stands at 135 kms on a single charge.
      Ola Electric Scooter Range In Real World
      Automotive enthusiast Anish Deshpande asked Ola about the true range of their electric scooter in real world conditions. To this, Ola Electric scooter support team has replied with specific details.
      Conditions under which you can achieve the True Range of 135 kms from Ola electric scooter S1 Pro in real world
      The EV maker has laid out a set of conditions for buyers to achieve this range. For starters, the 135 kms range can be achieved when only there is only the rider and no pillion. Weight of the rider has been considered 70 kgs with no other load being carried on the scooter. For city driving conditions, a maximum 3-5 percent incline has been taken into account.
