Trev Mobility, an electric mobility platform, has appointed Ayush Agrawal as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. He joins the company from Shoffr, where he served as Chief Operating Officer, and will manage operations and market expansion alongside Founder and Chief Executive Officer Naveen Gupta.

The appointment coincides with Trev's expansion from city transit into long-haul and intercity electric vehicle operations across new regional markets. From an initial fleet of two electric vehicles, Trev now operates over 100 electric vehicles, having completed 60,000 rides and entered Jaipur as its first market outside Delhi-NCR.

In his new role, Agrawal will oversee fleet deployment, vehicle utilisation, chauffeur operations, regional management teams and service delivery systems.

Naveen Gupta said, “India’s EV ecosystem is moving into a phase where the conversation has to go beyond putting more electric vehicles on the road. The next opportunity is to build operating models that can make EVs work reliably across different use cases, including long-haul and intercity mobility. Ayush brings valuable experience from building and operating a chauffeur-driven fleet business, along with a strong understanding of fleet economics, utilisation and on-ground operations. That experience will be important as we build Trev’s next phase. Together, we want to create an operating model that can demonstrate how EV mobility can scale reliably across cities and longer-distance journeys, while maintaining the level of service and customer experience that Trev is built around.”

Trev provides airport transfers, city transit, chauffeur rentals, corporate travel, and outstation mobility using an all-electric fleet. The company is developing standard operating processes covering vehicle uptime, charging schedules, route planning, chauffeur management, and service consistency across intercity corridors.

Ayush Agrawal said, “Having worked on the fleet operations side of chauffeur-driven mobility, I have seen how much the success of an EV fleet depends on what happens beyond the vehicle itself. Utilisation, charging, chauffeur deployment, route planning and service consistency all become critical as the distance and complexity of journeys increase. Trev has an opportunity to build this operating model with EVs at the centre, particularly across long-haul and intercity travel, and I am excited to work with Naveen and the team on building that at scale.”

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), one of the leading passenger vehicle manufacturers, has released its Sustainability Report 2026, titled 'Progress that Powers Everyone', outlining the company's environment, social and governance (ESG) performance and manufacturing operations in India.

The report was presented by Ramalinga Reddy, Minister of Forest, Ecology & Environment for the Government of Karnataka, alongside B. Padmanabha, Senior Executive Vice President of Manufacturing at Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

In its product operations, the company maintains a multi-pathway powertrain strategy encompassing hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, hydrogen technologies and alternative fuels. Hybrid models from Toyota represent approximately 80 percent of total hybrid vehicle sales in India, while the company introduced the Urban Cruiser Ebella as its first battery electric vehicle in the domestic market.

In manufacturing operations, Toyota Kirloskar Motor operated its facilities using 100 percent renewable electricity for the fifth consecutive year, eliminating Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. The company reported avoiding over 594,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions since FY2012-13, while recycling more than 95 percent of manufacturing waste and sourcing over 90 percent of its operational water through recycling and rainwater harvesting.

Ramalinga Reddy said, "Environmental protection cannot remain confined to policies alone; it must become a habit that is reflected in the choices we make every day. Whether it is conserving water, reducing waste, adopting clean energy or preserving biodiversity, every effort counts. Industries have a significant role in leading this transformation because their actions influence people, communities and future generations. TKM's Sustainability Report 2026 is a reminder that sustained commitment and collective action are essential for building a greener and more resilient India."

B Padmanabha said, "At Toyota, sustainability is an integral part of how we create value for society. Guided by the Toyota Way and our commitment to ‘Producing /spreading Happiness for All', we continue to balance sustainable business growth with environmental stewardship and social progress. This Sustainability Report reflects the collective efforts of our employees, suppliers, dealers, and partners in advancing carbon reduction, resource efficiency, community development, and responsible governance. While we are encouraged by the progress made, we remain committed to continuous improvement and to contributing to a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous future for all. We believe that true success lies not only in making ever-better products, but in creating lasting value for society and future generations."

On human capital and community development, Toyota Kirloskar Motor trained over 140,000 individuals through the Toyota Technical Training Institute and partnerships with 120 Industrial Training Institutes and 30 Government Tool Room & Training Centres. During FY2025-26, the company allocated over INR 1,047 million towards corporate social responsibility initiatives covering education, healthcare, sanitation, water conservation, road safety and environmental restoration.

Maharashtra-based Abhijeet Dies & Tools and Italy's INEVO have signed an agreement establishing a joint venture entity, Abhinevo Technologies.

Headquartered in Pune, the new JV will develop, engineer, manufacture and commercialise moulds, tooling and manufacturing technology solutions for the automotive and plastics-processing sectors.

The agreement combines Abhijeet’s four decades of tooling and plastics manufacturing operations with INEVO’s European high-precision injection mould technologies. The new entity intends to localise manufacturing technologies in India across the value chain, covering product and process engineering, tool design, simulation, manufacturing, trials, validation and production support.

Jayamurugan Thangavel, CEO, Abhijeet Group, said, “This joint venture marks an important step towards technology-led manufacturing. By combining INEVO’s specialised European technology with Abhijeet’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities, we aim to build advanced capability in India and create a platform serving Indian and global customers.”

Abhijeet Raut, Director, Abhijeet Dies & Tools, said, “The real value of this partnership will be in taking advanced technologies from concept to industrialisation. Through Abhinevo, we aim to give customers access to sophisticated tooling and manufacturing solutions with closer engineering collaboration, faster development and globally benchmarked quality – converting technology into robust, repeatable and commercially viable manufacturing solutions.”

INEVO, spun off from the mould division of INglass in 2020, exports over 80 percent of its output globally, producing more than 100 injection tools per year. Its specialisation covers multi-material and multi-colour moulding, automotive lighting tooling, In-Mould Decoration (IMD), In-Mould Labelling (IML), injection on decorative and functional foils and surface technologies.

Roberto Fagarazzi, Managing Director – Sales, INEVO, said, “India is becoming increasingly important in the global automotive manufacturing landscape, and customers are looking for greater localisation without compromising technology, quality or manufacturing performance. We see a strong opportunity to bring INEVO’s experience in advanced moulds, multi-material technologies, smart surfaces and industrialisation closer to this market.”

“Abhijeet has a strong tooling and manufacturing foundation, engineering resources and an established automotive presence. The combination of INEVO’s specialised technology with Abhijeet’s manufacturing expertise creates a strong platform for long-term development. Our ambition is to develop solutions together in India, build local technical competence and progressively create opportunities that can serve customers both in India and internationally,” he added.

The initial technology scope for Abhinevo Technologies will encompass 2K and multi-component mould technology, polyurethane-based surface applications, IMD, IML, In-Mould Coating, film integration and process simulation. These processes target automotive interior and exterior components, functional panels, and smart surfaces for domestic automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and international export markets.

Nikhil Raut, Director, Abhijeet Dies & Tools, said, “This partnership is more than a business agreement. It brings together two companies, cultures and capabilities with a shared ambition to create something meaningful and long-lasting, built on trust, teamwork and mutual respect. The true success of Abhinevo will be measured by what our teams create together, the value we deliver to customers and the trust we build over the years ahead.”

Consultancy firm Crescendo Worldwide facilitated the partnership process, initiating partner identification in early 2025, which led to a Memorandum of Understanding in June 2025 prior to the final joint venture execution in September 2026.
