Helixx launch range of mini commercial EVs for emerging markets

The Helixx Ride, the closed-door bodied urban ride-hailer for densely populated developing urban centres

Helixx, a new UK-based global technology company, has announced an innovative approach to delivering a range of four affordable mini commercial electric vehicles to provide clean, sustainable mobility for service businesses in fast-growing, densely populated urban centres.
Engineered in the UK and designed to be built virtually anywhere in the world in licensed Helixx Mobility Hubs, vehicles will be offered on a subscription basis for commercial users. Economically and technologically developing cities across  the world are experiencing dramatically increasing population density. The U.N. predicts that 6.6 billion people will be living in urban areas by 2050. Growing populations mean that a fundamental shift towards more efficient mobility systems is vital.
Small, safe, affordable, zero-emission vehicles that are built locally within a fully managed circular manufacturing Industry 5.0 ecosystem offer the potential to unlock opportunities for economic growth by solving mobility and air quality challenges.  Helixx hope their Mobility Hubs will help to keep carbon emissions to a minimum while empowering local enterprise to make, sell and support vehicles over their entire lifecycle, and beyond.

“Helixx was born to meet the challenge of transforming the quality and standard of mobility for citizens in heavily congested cities,” says Steve Pegg, Helixx CEO and co-founder. “The vehicles offered by Helixx are the key to replacing the heavily polluting combustion-powered vehicles relied upon in developing nations today.”

The Helixx range is designed by Jowyn Wong and Jakub Jodlowski whose portfolio includes hypercars for manufacturers such as Apollo and DeTomaso. The range initially comprises four body styles, designed for optimum production simplicity through the innovative, flexible Helixx assembly process. The Cargo is a commercial goods vehicle designed to support the booming demand for last-mile delivery fleets, the Truck is a pick-up that’s ideal for construction businesses and urban developers, the Tuk and Ride, with open and closed-door bodies respectively, are designed as the best solution for urban ride-hailing to replace older, heavily polluting, combustion-powered fleets.
All four vehicles offer a zero-emission driving range for a virtually uninterrupted 24-hour duty cycle with rapidly swappable, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery packs with range on-demand for full flexibility.

The Helixx assembly process, known as the Helixx Mobility Hub, is supported by a breakthrough Industry 5.0-inspired Helixx digital ecosystem, a Helixx Hub can be commissioned and operated almost anywhere in the world through a licensed partnership. Helixx will fully manage the entire onboarding process for hub partners, from the establishment of the factory and equipment installation to training staff and ongoing commercial support with local fleet operators. Helixx will also orchestrate all raw materials and components and production processes through a next-generation Industry 5.0 digital platform that prioritises local sourcing and supply chain flexibility for resilience and full traceability of environmental impact, including scope 3 emissions.

Following successful testing of the UK concept hub in partnership with Siemens, Helixx will establish further pilot hubs in the UK and Singapore. The company is in discussion with customers in the Asia Pacific region, with India, MENA, and South America to follow.
