Born electric
No engine bay and no inherited platform. Every vehicle is designed around its battery and motor, which is what lets a small car be quiet, roomy and refined.
The thesis
Cities don’t need bigger cars.
They need the right ones.
Most city trips move one or two people a short distance. They are made in vehicles engineered for five seats and the highway.
Vayve Mobility designs compact electric vehicles from a clean sheet for the trips cities actually make: the daily commute, a taxi fare, a last-mile delivery, a ride across a campus. Each one is sized, priced and powered for its job.

The platform
One engineering base.
Four markets.
The vehicle architecture that began with a personal city car now spans ride-hailing, cargo and shuttles. Each model opens a new customer base without starting from zero.

Why it works
Small is an engineering advantage.
Light, so everything gets cheaper
Low mass means a smaller battery, a lower price and less time on the charger. On Eva, the optional solar roof can add around 10–12 km of driving a day.
Open categories
Quadricycle-class vehicles are a recognised segment in Europe and a largely empty one in India. Vayve builds for both rather than fighting for share in crowded ones.
Built on India’s supply base
Engineering and sourcing sit in Pune’s automotive cluster, with most components bought domestically. That keeps cost and lead times under control.
Milestones
From first sketch to four vehicles.
Vayve Mobility is incorporated in Pune by four co-founders with backgrounds in volume manufacturing and industrial electronics.
Eva is unveiled at Auto Expo. The company closes its first angel round.
Named Greentech of the Year at the Global Startup Awards.
