Entering the manufacture of electric motorcycles, PURE EV has chalked out an aggressive expansion plan for India and the globe. Over the next 30 months, the company will add 250 new dealerships in its domestic market, taking its total number of dealerships to over 320. This ambitious endeavour will help the Hyderabad-based electric two-wheeler maker to increase its reach manifold in the domestic market. 
Offering its electric two-wheelers – scooters and motorcycles – to the young and family men as well as to gig workers and small businessmen, the company is banking on its electric motorcycles as it feels that the demand for motorcycles is greater than that of the scooters. 
Stating that 70 percent of the two-wheeler market in India is dominated by motorcycles, Dr Nishanth Dongari, Founder and MD, PURE EV, averred, “PURE EV has recently supplied more than 300 e-motorcycles to the Tamil Nadu Forest Department and Tata Power in Odisha. Such collaborations not only drive sales but also demonstrate the growing adoption of e-motorcycles in fleet operations.”
Expressing that PURE EV is the first company to integrate Nano PCM (Phase Change Material) into its battery systems for efficient thermal management, Dongari said, “The company has already launched two models—the ecoDryft, which caters to the 110cc market, and the eTryst, which is designed to compete with the 125cc segment. These models leverage PURE EV’s innovative ‘X-Platform’ to deliver a mileage of 171 km/charge through advanced powertrain technology and advanced features such as hill hold, coasting regen, reverse mode etc.” 
Emphasising that the adoption of breakthrough technology in the form of ‘Nano PCM’, Dr Dongari explained, “The risk of un-safe thermal incidents are eliminated, ensuring superior safety for electric vehicles and boosting consumer confidence.” “Also improving battery performance significantly, the adoption of Nano PCM has not only enhanced the safety profile of our EVs,” he added. 
The global expansion plans of the company include Nepal and Bhutan. By the last quarter of the current financial year, the PURE EV is preparing to invade these markets. It is also preparing to step into the Middle East and African markets subsequently. 
To launch PuREPower – a revolutionary innovative product that can work as a back-up for households and small business in case of power outages while working as scooter and motorcycle batteries at other times – in the 2025 calendar year, PURE EV is catering to a customer base of 20,000 customers.

Green SM, the electric cab service arm of Vietnam’s Vingroup, has announced its plans to expand its electric mobility services across six states and union territories in India. The company has secured licenses in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh – covering the Delhi National Capital Region.

Now the company is set to introduce its service in Karnataka under state aggregator frameworks. Building upon its operations in Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad, the company intends to launch services in Chennai and Bengaluru, working with authorities and local partners.

The expansion follows the company's debut in Delhi-NCR in June 2026, which deployed VinFast Limo Green electric vehicles and completed over 1.5 million rides within five months. Green SM is also rolling out dedicated airport pickup zones and plans to create thousands of earning opportunities for local drivers through professional training, welfare support, and competitive compensation. The company stated that fare information is accessible via its official channels and mobile application, and clarified that claims of a ₹8 per kilometre charge are unfounded.

Rohit Sharma, CEO, Green SM India, said, “We are delighted to announce that after successful launch in Delhi NCR, Green SM has another opportunity to bring the benefits of green mobility to more people across India. Green SM aims to provide customers with safe comfortable journeys along with consistently high service standards, while creating earning opportunities for local drivers. Green SM believes that quality service and environmentally friendly vehicles can help encourage greener travel habits in major cities.”

YANGWANG, BYD's flagship luxury new-energy vehicle marque, staged a high-profile celebration in Dubai to honour the U9 Xtreme's 503.17 kmph world-record top speed, headlined by a bespoke light and projection spectacle across the Burj Khalifa. The showcase drew an estimated 3,000 international media figures and VIP guests, assembling a global audience to mark advances in automotive performance, technological innovation and brand growth.

The record was set on 1 November 2026, when the all-electric hypercar hit 503.17 kmph (312.6 mph) along Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Road (E11) in Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra Region. Two Guinness World Records followed: highest speed achieved by a production car in a single-direction run, and the equivalent honour for an electric production car. Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, has likewise acknowledged the result. Racing driver Marc Basseng piloted the machine past its own earlier 496.22 kmph (308.3mph) marker, posted at ATP Papenburg in Germany in September 2025.

That display anchored the evening, projecting the milestone onto one of the planet's most photographed structures, while supporting brand activities allowed attendees to explore YANGWANG and the engineering underpinning its record-setting model. The U9 Xtreme, in the brand's view, embodies an ongoing push to test how far new-energy technology can stretch automotive limits.

The same evening saw the World Branding Awards trophy presented to BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li, following BYD's selection as Brand of the Year in the Automobiles category at Global Tier. The World Branding Forum, which runs the programme, weighs brand valuation, consumer market research and public online voting, with Global Tier status reserved for international brands active in at least 10 countries across three or more continents; the honour was first conferred at Hampton Court Palace in London on 3 November. The Dubai gathering sat within a broader UAE celebration programme that included a 110-vehicle parade of YANGWANG, DENZA and BYD models in Abu Dhabi on 7 November, led by the U9 Xtreme from West Park to Emirates Palace.

Stella Li, Executive Vice President, BYD, said, “Reaching 503.17 kmph with the U9 Xtreme demonstrates what electric performance can achieve and reflects our engineers’ determination to push beyond established boundaries. At the same time, being named Global Brand of the Year in Automobiles is also a recognition of the trust our customers place in BYD. These achievements inspire us to keep exploring what technology can make possible, from extraordinary performance to sustainable mobility that makes a meaningful difference in people’s everyday lives.”

Delhivery has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to deploy between 1,500 and 2,000 electric four-wheelers across its intra-city logistics network over the next 12 to 18 months. The agreements form part of the company's plan to deploy nearly 5,000 electric vehicles within three years and fully electrify its intra-city fleet operating under 200 kilometres per day within four to five years, starting with a rollout in Delhi-NCR.

At present, electric vehicles account for 12 to 13 percent of Delhivery's intra-city fleet. Through advance payments for vendors and investments in charging and parking facilities at its hubs, the company plans to increase that share beyond 50 percent over the next two to three years.

Under the partnerships, Delhivery will induct the Tata Intra EV from Tata Motors, begin deployments with the Turbo City Plus from Euler Motors before adding payload-capacity models and expand nationwide operations of Montra Electric's EVIATOR across its network.

Prashant Gazipur, COO – In City Operations, Delhivery, said, “Scaling fleet electrification means finding solutions that work across the diverse needs of our network without compromising operational efficiency. Partnering with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric lets us expand our electric fleet across vehicle categories. The charging facilities we are piloting will make EV adoption easier and more affordable for our vendor partners.”
