When we pioneered our highly adaptive and modular multi-vehicle platform in 2014, it was a journey into the unknown. The success of new global OEMs and their impact on electrifying transport in the US and Europe is a testament to what we can do in India and other price-sensitive countries," said Inderveer Singh, Founder, and CEO, EVage.
Their debut vehicle, the Model X is a one-tonne truck that is designed for the commercial vehicle market. The segment itself is undergoing a seismic transformation towards electrification. The fact that such an innovative product is being used today by major fleet customers makes EVage a clear standout in their field - this is the team thats actually delivering," said Prescott Watson, General Partner at RedBlue Capital.
