Mobility Hubs offer electric vehicle solutions for megacities

Electric vehicle mobility in megacities could be enabled through Helixx, a UK technology company offering a range of electric vehicles and the means to manufacture them locally.

Engineered in the UK and designed to be built virtually anywhere in the world in licensed Helixx Mobility Hubs, the company’s four mini commercial electric vehicles – CARGO, TRUCK, TUK and RIDE - will be offered on a subscription basis for commercial users from $0.25 per hour.

By 2030, there could be 43 megacities with over 10 million inhabitants, mostly located in developing countries. Currently, people living in these regions rely on small, polluting vehicles for public transportation and commerce.

According to Helixx, 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. 

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