Affordable, reliable mobility — engineered and built for Africa
Why AOI Matters
Building technology, industry, and efficiency for African mobility
Designed for Africa
Built to operate in extreme heat (up to 45 °C), unpaved roads, and long duty cycles — RHINO is engineered for real-world African fleet conditions
Local Industrial Vision
AOI aims to build a scalable vehicle assembly ecosystem and develop skilled industrial jobs in Senegal.
Extended-Range Efficiency
Series-hybrid architecture optimized for fuel efficiency and low operating cost, delivering over 80 % drivetrain efficiency in real-world use
Meet RHINO — The AOI EREV Platform
Meet the RHINO
RHINO is AOI’s modular extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) platform, designed for transport, logistics, and utility fleets.
- Modular battery architecture
1.5 kWh modules, configurable up to 64 units to match duty cycle requirements - Right-sized range extender
Generator operates within a defined SoC window to maximize efficiency and lifespan - Fleet-first engineering
Designed for reliability, simplified maintenance, and optimized total cost of ownership
AOI Engineering & Systems Modeling Tool
AOI publishes its system-level engineering assumptions to promote transparency and informed decision-making.
The calculators below model key aspects of the RHINO EREV architecture, including battery sizing, generator duty cycles, charging scenarios, regenerative energy recovery, and total cost of ownership.
Results represent simplified, physics-based estimates intended for early-stage evaluation and comparative analysis.
- Battery Pack Sizing Tool
Estimate required energy capacity based on range targets and duty cycle - Range Extender Drive Cycle Model
Analyze generator power, duty cycle, and usable SoC window behavior - Multi-Source Charging Model
Compare charging time from generators, AC chargers, and fast-charge sources - Regenerative / Dynamic Braking Impact
Quantify recoverable energy under stop-and-go driving conditions - Financing: Buy vs Lease Analysis
Compare ownership scenarios and long-term cost implications - Fleet Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Evaluate operating cost, energy use, and lifecycle economics
