Citroën India has partnered with Milo Drive, a shared mobility platform, to supply 500 units of its -C3 electric vehicle for deployment across India. The partnership aims to boost electric mobility in the country’s growing shared transport sector. The -C3 EVs will be integrated into Milo Drive’s fleet operating system, which links drivers with various ride-hailing, travel, and corporate mobility services. The platform also provides fleet operators with tools for demand routing, utilization analytics, and performance tracking.
Citroën will provide battery health data and vehicle performance insights to help optimize uptime and operating efficiency. The company believes that the -C3 is well-suited for shared mobility due to its driving range and low operating costs. The partnership highlights the importance of building alliances to accelerate EV adoption, according to Shishir Mishra, Business Head and Director of Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Business at Stellantis India.
Milo Drive, founded by Monil Jayeshkumar Khatri and Vishal Jewrajka, operates a fleet management system that connects drivers to various ride-hailing and corporate transport platforms. The company has over 300 vehicles on the road and has facilitated over 250,000 rides across several Indian cities. The partnership with Citroën is expected to strengthen Milo Drive’s driver-focused business model, enabling drivers to access vehicles and build sustainable mobility businesses of their own.
The partnership is a significant step towards promoting electric mobility in India, and Citroën’s global presence and experience in the automotive industry will support Milo Drive’s growth. With over 6200 sales and service touchpoints across 101 countries, Citroën is well-positioned to contribute to India’s transition to cleaner and smarter transportation. The collaboration between Citroën and Milo Drive is expected to have a positive impact on the environment and the shared mobility sector in India, and will help to promote the adoption of electric vehicles nationwide.
