Vammo operates a shared battery infrastructure for electric two-wheelers in Brazil, targeting the 99% of Latin American motorcycle sales still powered by combustion engines. The hardware-first tech stack (ESP32, CAN, UART, Modbus, MQTT, LTE) reveals a distributed IoT platform managing physical swap stations and vehicle-battery pairing. Pain points cluster around firmware scaling, supplier quality, and logistics optimization—typical of a hardware startup ramping production while building regional logistics networks.
Vammo rents electric motorcycles and swappable batteries at price points competitive with gasoline two-wheelers, addressing adoption barriers in Latin America where battery cost and range anxiety have limited EV penetration. The company operates in Brazil and is actively hiring across engineering, manufacturing, construction, and logistics—indicating concurrent expansion of swap-station infrastructure and production capacity. The business model decouples battery ownership (Vammo) from vehicle use (customers), enabling recurring revenue from both lease and battery rotation.
Vammo uses embedded systems (ESP32, C/C++, RTOS, Yocto), industrial protocols (CAN, Modbus, RS485, UART), and wireless connectivity (LTE, Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, MQTT) to manage battery-swap station networks and IoT device communication.
Active projects include battery-swap infrastructure firmware development, driver and communication stack optimization, OTA release processes, process standardization, route optimization, and expansion into new regions.
