Exterior Design
Built for the Daily Grind
A taller body for easier ingress, generous greenhouse for visibility, short overhangs for the tightest urban corners. The Flux 3 is engineered for the realities of African taxi work — broken roads, long shifts, four passengers and luggage. Steel reinforcement at every contact point. Damage-tolerant body panels designed to be repaired, not replaced.

Technology
Fleet-Smart from Day One
The Flux 3 ships with Lucid Fleet — telemetry, driver management, and route optimisation built into the vehicle, not bolted on.
Lucid Fleet
Real-time telemetry, shift handover, expense tracking, and route optimisation. Designed for ride-hail platforms and independent operators alike.
Driver Coach
In-cabin coaching nudges driving habits toward better range, better safety, and lower wear — automatically.
Predictive Maintenance
Sensors flag wear before it becomes failure. Less downtime, fewer surprise bills.
Companion App
For owners and operators: shift schedules, vehicle health, earnings dashboard, and remote control.
