uMotion

uMotion is a French automobile manufacturer focused on building the world's most sustainable and affordable urban van specifically designed for last mile professionals. Simple, light, adaptable, the Vike emits 4 times less fine particles, 3 times less CO2 and is 2 times cheaper than a current electric van thanks to its patented powertrain. The Vike is the first electric-muscle hybrid, operating like a powerful electric bike at low speeds and as a conventional e-van beyond that, enabling a 50 % reduction in energy consumption. The Vike is also the first on-demand battery van. Users can adjust the onboard battery quantity to the vehicle's actual use with handheld battery modules. This enables off-site charging, battery swapping and service life extension. As the battery determines the weight, carbon footprint, and price of the vehicle, uMotion can offer a frugal, lightweight, and repairable urban van for half the price of a current eVan.
