AOI Extended-Range Electric Mobility

Built for Africa. Engineered to go farther.

The RHINO EREV is AOI’s extended-range electric vehicle concept, designed for African roads, heat, dust, long distances, and real-world infrastructure.

Who We Are

Alpha Omega Industries S.A.R.L. is an electric-mobility engineering and industrial-development company based in Dakar, Senegal.

AOI is developing vehicles specifically for African conditions rather than adapting vehicles designed for other markets.

Our work is guided by five principles:

Safety. Reliability. Serviceability. Upgradeability. Affordability.

Our objective is to develop durable vehicles that can support families, commercial operators, public fleets, transportation services, and logistics applications.

Affordable, reliable mobility — engineered and built for Africa

Why AOI Matters

Building technology, industry, and efficiency for African mobility

Engineered for African Conditions

AOI vehicles are being designed around high temperatures, dust, uneven roads, long operating distances, demanding duty cycles, and limited charging infrastructure.

Electric Drive Without Range Anxiety

The AOI architecture preserves the advantages of electric propulsion while providing onboard reserve energy for extended operation.

Serviceable and Upgradeable

The vehicle is being designed with modular systems, accessible components, and practical maintenance in mind.

An African Industrial Vision

AOI intends to establish vehicle assembly and progressively localize component manufacturing in Senegal while developing technical skills, supplier capability, and employment.

Affordable by Design

Every major system is evaluated according to reliability, operating cost, maintainability, and customer affordability.

Meet RHINO — The AOI EREV Platform

RHINO is AOI’s extended-range electric vehicle concept for passenger, fleet, transportation, logistics, and utility applications.

Its proposed architecture includes:

  • Electric motors driving the wheels
  • Customer-selected modular battery capacity
  • An onboard generator protecting the battery reserve
  • Configurations adapted to different operating requirements
  • Simplified maintenance and component replacement
  • Systems designed for future upgrades

AOI Engineering & Systems Modeling Tool

AOI provides selected public engineering calculators to help customers and project partners understand the factors that influence vehicle configuration and operating cost.

Available tools include:

  • Battery-capacity estimation
  • Range-extender operating analysis
  • Charging-time comparison
  • Regenerative-braking analysis
  • Vehicle financing comparison
  • Fleet total-cost-of-ownership evaluation

These tools provide preliminary, physics-based estimates for comparative analysis. They do not represent final certified vehicle performance.

Manufacturing Vision

AOI’s planned production facilities are being developed to support scalable vehicle assembly, quality control, testing, workforce development, and the progressive localization of selected components.

All factory images currently displayed are concept visualizations representing the intended industrial vision.
