There are numerous auto-rickshaw makers in India who have attained an unbelievable amount of acclamation, however, there are only a few sets of automakers like Omega Seiki Mobility or OSM, for instance, which have reached the pinnacle of vehicular engineering to be deemed the best auto or three-wheeler manufacturer in the country.
How did they manage to do so? Well, OSM has achieved this great acclamation from customers for being the definition of “best auto rickshaw maker” in India through their consistent and critical efforts to produce a smooth electric powertrain complemented by great design language and comfort-oriented features, apart from the obvious robust drivetrain.
Moreover, their team, of course, has made sure to put the powertrain and associated components through rigorous testing to make sure that they are the best in the game. Therefore, it is the core reason why OSM is one of the best auto rickshaw makers in the country.
Don’t believe us? Take a look at OSM’s Rage Plus Rapid EV for example. It comes with a solid performance-based battery pack built using advanced high-power cell technology combined with a superior electric motor to deliver the best performance. Not convinced?
