In what could be called a major revolution in the door-to-door diesel delivery sector, Ratan Tata-backed startup Repos Energy has announced the launch of its latest and India’s first double-dispenser mobile petrol pump – VO Alpha. After months of R&D and hard work, the founders of Repos Chetan Walunj and Aditi Bhosale Walunj are excited to unveil the brand-new, ultra-modern model which they have named VO Alpha, which stands for Voice of Innovation.
The VO Alpha is going to be the first-of-its-kind mobile petrol pump which will allow two-side dispensing of high-speed diesel thereby making the vehicle an advanced version of its predecessor. Besides the double-dispensing unit (DDU), VO Alpha features IoT controller, advanced brake interlock system for extra safety, geo-fencing, and fuel sensors. The unveiling of the new vehicle will be held at Repos’ IoT facility located in Chakan, Pune on October 27, and by the hands of Jalaj Gupta, Business Head, Commercial Vehicles, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
Talking about their latest innovation, Chetan says, “VO Alpha stands for the spirit of innovation, excellence, and efficiency. The model is designed to ensure the highest standards of safety, security, and elegance for our customers and consumers.”
Sharing his thoughts about the launch, Jalaj Gupta, Business Head, Commercial Vehicles, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd said, “The future of door-to-door diesel delivery is extremely bright as the idea is to ‘go to the customer’. The new model VO Alpha is unique as it has a double dispenser which simply doubles up the overall efficiency of the concept on the same single asset (mobile petrol pump). The partnership of Repos and Mahindra & Mahindra with the new Furio model will go a long way in the journey of mobile dispensers.”
Sharing that the company has already registered three patents, which allows Repos exclusivity rights to the design on the DDU model, Aditi shares, “VO Alpha is an innovation that will help and revolutionize the Indian Fuel distribution system. The machine uses the stability triangle to balance the liquid equilibrium and is a flame-proof model. Something that India needs and will be proud of for years to come.”
The unveiling also marks the launch of Repos’ new initiative Voice of Innovation, a one-of-its-kind innovation contest, which will allow participants from across India to present their idea which is inspired by innovation for a sustainable future.
