TVS Motor Company has partnered with OOR Cabs to deploy five hundred electric three-wheelers across Tamil Nadu in financial year 2025–26. The rollout begins in Trichy and will extend to Madurai and Coimbatore. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on May 22, 2025, marking a step towards sustainable urban transport.

The vehicles to be deployed are TVS King EV MAX models, known for a range of 179 km, quick charging, and features such as Bluetooth connectivity. For enhanced comfort, OOR will offer custom add-ons including drinking water, thermal insulation, and mobile charging ports.

The collaboration supports the Tamil Nadu government's clean mobility goals. OOR Cabs plans to induct twenty to thirty EVs each month, enabling eco-friendly transport and empowering both men and women drivers in Tier two and Tier three cities.

Ten vehicles were ceremonially delivered at a Trichy event, with ten more to be deployed in June 2025. The move is part of a broader strategy to scale OOR’s fleet to five hundred EVs this year.

This alliance combines TVS’s product engineering with OOR’s local mobility platform, aiming to deliver efficient, inclusive, and sustainable travel solutions.
