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.
