Electric mobility player Zypp Electric on Wednesday said it plans to deploy 1 lakh electric two-wheelers in partnership with Indofast Energy, a 50-50 joint venture between IndianOil and SUN Mobility, over the next 12-18 months. Zypp Electric has already deployed over 10,000 EVs supported by Indofast Energy’s battery swapping infrastructure.

The new fleet of 1 lakh electric two-wheelers (E2Ws) will be deployed across India’s top eight cities, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow and Jaipur, enhancing efficiency for delivery partners and enterprises, the company said in a statement.
