Fyn Mobility has partnered with Exponent Energy, an energy start-up simplifying energy for EVs. The new fleet of Altigreen’s neEV Tez, along with exponent’s e^pump network, will make Fyn operate a fleet of 15-minute full charge EVs. With a 15-minute full charge, Fyn will be able to minimise idle time and enable multiple trips with a single Altigreen neEV Tez. To support the fleet, Exponent has already installed 20 e^pump across Bengaluru and plans to add 80 more in the next six months.

Fyn is re-imagining the Indian logistics and transportation experience with its IoT-enabled smart EV fleets, along with their own EV ecosystem platform that helps generate insights from these fleets and optimise overall operations to be greener and more efficient. With this partnership, Fyn plans to roll out these EVs to be cross-utilised, making the overall cost of operations to businesses much more affordable, and open up new opportunities within the industry.

Commenting on this partnership, Visakh Sasikumar, Founder and CEO, Fyn Mobility, shared, “This energy-packed partnership will redefine the last-mile logistics industry. With Fyn’s unique EV ecosystem platform and Exponent’s 15-minute full charge technology, we are retuning the EV-as-a-service industry to look at cross utilisation of EVs as a metric of scale rather than just the number of EVs deployed. This partnership enables us to use a single commercial EV for two shifts covering close to 18 hours of service which has now steadily become a reality. We believe cross utilisation is the more sustainable and eco-friendly approach in the EV logistics industry for the long run.”

Speaking on the partnership, Arun Vinayak, Co-founder and CEO, Exponent Energy, said, “This partnership is about how our rapid charging tech and e^pump network perfectly complement FYNs platform to drive cross-utilisation and redefine last-mile logistics. Last month, in partnership with Altigreen, we launched the neEV Tez, the world’s fastest charging three-wheeler. We now have our e^pump network live across Bangalore, and are opening up other vehicle segments with a core focus on logistics. For fleets, utilisation is key. While the vehicle and network are ready to provide, Fyn’s technology stack is key to extracting it. Their treasure trove of insights helps optimise operations and push the limits on cross-utilisation. Our seamless charging experience will power Fyn’s fleet and deliver unparalleled value to end-users. We’re excited by the deep bet both organisations have taken and look forward to scaling this unique solution across multiple cities and vehicle formats, starting with the neEV Tez.”

Ahmedabad-based electric two-wheeler brand Avore Electric launched its first electric motorcycle – the Avore Electric EX at prices starting at INR 124,999 (ex-showroom).

The e-motorcycle is available in three variants – the EX 2S, EX 2 and EX 1. The model range was developed over three years using the company's indigenous AVORE Source technology stack and AVR vehicle platform. The development process involved over 120 intellectual property filings across nine vehicle systems, including the battery management system, motor controller, onboard charger and operating system.

The EVs use a rare-earth-free Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with peak power output ranging between 7.5 kW and 10.5 kW depending on the variant, while all three models produce 250 Nm of peak wheel torque.

The EX 2S attains a claimed top speed of 114 kmph, whereas the EX 2 and EX 1 reach top speeds of 100 kmph. The powertrain utilises an integrated motor and swingarm structure to manage chassis balance and weight distribution.

The EX 2S and EX 2 carry IDC-certified range ratings of 260 km and 255 km respectively, while the EX 1 carries an IDC-certified range rating of 160 km. All variants include a 1500W onboard charger compatible with standard 5A and 15A domestic sockets, charging the battery from 20 per cent to 80 percent in two hours and reaching a full charge in a claimed four hours. The battery pack is homologated by NATRAX, and the battery management system is validated by ICAT.

Software systems integrated into the platform include the AVORE SENSE operating system, an artificial intelligence (AI) companion named Avore Synapse and an automatic manual gear mode. The platform complies with AIS 156 and AIS 038 safety standards and underwent 100,000 km of road testing alongside 2,500 hours of dynamometer testing prior to commercial introduction.

Priyank Rakholiya, Founder, Avore Electric, said, "We dedicated three years to research, development, testing, and validation before the launch of the EX so as to ensure class-leading engineering and innovation. We are ensuring global-levels of safety and performance, while pushing the frontiers of Indian-developed electric mobility technology stacks that deliver reliability, consistency, and economic viability. Our goal is to improve adoption and accessibility to world-class electric mobility solutions for every Indian and we are confident that the EX is just the start of our journey towards that direction."

Bookings for the EX series have opened on the manufacturer's website at an initial reservation amount of INR 799, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin in two months. The battery pack is supplied with a 5-year or 60,000 km warranty.

Energy In Motion, a provider of integrated electric mobility solutions for long-haul freight transportation, has executed an agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation to establish and operate charging and battery swapping infrastructure for heavy commercial vehicles at retail outlets across India.

As per the understanding, Energy In Motion will deploy swap-and-charge hubs on freight corridors including Mumbai–Pune, Delhi–Jaipur and Chennai–Bangalore over the next 18 to 24 months. These stations will support vehicles such as the Ashwa 55-tonne e-tractor, providing battery exchange capability in 7 minutes.

Energy In Motion manages battery inventory and hardware, while Hindustan Petroleum Corporation provides space and utilities across its network of over 25,000 retail outlets.

Narendra Murkumbi, Managing Director, Energy In Motion, said, “Charging infrastructure succeeds or fails on reliability. Working with HPCL allows us to place charging and swapping where drivers already stop – sites with power, space, amenities, safety systems and staff on duty. Combining our battery and fleet expertise with HPCL’s nationwide retail network lets us build dependable swap-and-charge hubs on the corridors that carry India’s freight and to do it at the pace the transition demands.”
