Vietnamese smart mobility startup Selex Motors, a manufacturer of smart electric motorcycles, officially launched a new ecosystem of electric mobility for delivery, "Selex Camel".

Aside from producing e-motorcycles, Selex is creating an e-bike ecosystem that includes batteries and battery-swapping systems. Its products try to address pain points in logistics, transportation, fuel consumption, and battery swapping flexibility.

Speaking at the ceremony, Selex CEO Nguyen Huu Phuoc Nguyen said the world is suffering from air pollution, high fuel costs and low transport efficiency. In order to keep up and meet the diverse needs of transportation in the 4.0 era while reducing environmental pollution, many governments have been focusing on the development of electric vehicles.

Nguyen said despite being an inevitable trend, in Viet Nam, electric scooters are still struggling to find a way to become popular. The problems lie in long charging times (3-8 hours) and the lack of infrastructure. To solve this, Selex Motors has developed "Selex Camel" - an optimal ecosystem with four main products: smart electric scooters, compatible Lithium-ion batteries, convenient battery swapping stations and a management application using IoT technology, helping users with accessible charging, cost saving and improved efficiency.

As the first electric "pickup" scooter in Southeast Asia, Selex Camel fully integrates a high-performance energy solution equipped with Selex Motors' patented proprietary technology. With a three-year warranty, this electric scooter is operated by a pack of three Lithium-ion batteries, which are easy to disassemble and allow travel of up to 150 km after batteries are swapped at Selex stations.

Selex Camel has higher load capacity (50 per cent) and lower maintenance cost (50 per cent) compared to ICE vehicles. Because of that, Selex Motors aims to create "a green revolution" in the delivery industry, and thus raise awareness of EVs in Viet Nam.

At the event, Selex Motors Company also signed a cooperation agreement, announced investment with a number of strategic partners and handed over its first batch of electric scooters to Lazada Logistics - a pioneer in the field of e-commerce logistics in the Vietnamese market. Lazada Logistics is expected to put into operation at least 100 units next year. — VNS
