Yulu deploys 100 electric two-wheelers in Nashik for last-mile delivery operations
By Eve
Yulu, an Indian electric mobility-as-a-service platform, has launched delivery services in Nashik, Maharashtra, deploying 100 DeX electric two-wheelers through its Yulu Business Partner vertical in partnership with Approach Auto Mobility. The rollout marks Yulu's second Maharashtra market after Mumbai and its ninth franchise-led operation in two years, targeting a city where daily deliveries have doubled to approximately 25,000 over the past year. The service aims to replace petrol-powered two-wheelers used by delivery partners serving over 25 operational dark stores and around 1,500 high-volume restaurants.
Why it matters
The deployment demonstrates how commercial fleet electrification is expanding beyond metros into tier-two Indian cities, creating franchise-led charging and vehicle infrastructure opportunities. With delivery volumes doubling annually, Nashik represents a scalable model for CPOs and fleet operators targeting the fast-growing quick commerce and food delivery sectors reliant on two-wheeler logistics.

Yulu launches EV delivery service in Nashik with 100 DeX vehicles
Electric mobility company Yulu has launched its Yulu Business Partner service in Nashik, Maharashtra, partnering with Approach Auto Mobility to deploy 100 DeX electric two-wheelers from a centre in Rajiv Nagar. The rollout makes Nashik Yulu's 13th city of operation and its ninth franchise-led market, targeting delivery partners serving more than 25 operational dark stores and 1,500 restaurants as city-wide deliveries have doubled to around 25,000 a day over the past year. Yulu's service includes electric two-wheelers, battery swapping through Yuma Energy, and aims to help delivery partners manage vehicle financing, fuel and maintenance costs.
Why it matters
The launch signals growing demand for commercial EV fleets in tier-two Indian cities, where quick-commerce and food-delivery growth is driving procurement of electric two-wheelers and supporting infrastructure such as battery swapping networks. Yulu's franchise-led expansion model offers a template for scaling EV delivery services beyond metropolitan markets.
iCaur SUVs reportedly planned for France in early 2027, according to Frandroid
Frandroid reported on 27 October 2026 that iCaur, a brand linked to Chery, is aiming to launch the V25 and V27 SUVs in France in early 2027, with the V23 following later without a firm date. The V23 would need structural modifications before homologation, which Frandroid does not detail. The timetable comes from the press rather than the manufacturer, powertrains for France are unconfirmed, and nothing in the sources shows any of the models can yet be ordered in France.
Why it matters
A new Chery-linked entrant could add electric or range-extender SUVs to the French parc from 2027, but with no confirmed powertrains or manufacturer commitment, planning on charging demand or fleet supply should treat this as an unverified signal. It is worth tracking as a competitive-map item rather than a firm market input.
Tata Motors reportedly developing Kuno mid-size electric SUV for 2027 to 2028 launch to rival MG Windsor
According to people familiar with the programme, Tata Motors is developing a ground-up, roughly 4.3-metre mid-size SUV codenamed Kuno, scheduled for introduction in 2027 to 2028 and likely to be built at Sanand in Gujarat. Planned annual production is around 80,000 to 100,000 units, which the report says is a capacity plan and not a first-year sales forecast. The commercial name, final specifications and pricing have not been disclosed, and Tata is preparing capacity additions at Sanand, which includes the former Ford plant.
Why it matters
A further mid-size EV line from Tata, alongside the new-generation Nexon, Curvv and Sierra, points to a larger family-oriented EV parc in India from 2027 to 2028, which could support longer-term charging demand planning. Planned volumes of 80,000 to 100,000 units a year at Sanand suggest the scale of vehicle supply CPOs and site hosts may need to anticipate, though timing and specifications remain unconfirmed.
