- Deployment live with 1,200 vehicles live across OEM and fleet platforms; 10,000+ committed across OEM and fleet platforms, making this one of India’s largest safety rollouts in electric three-wheelers.
- Joint R&D and driver training programmes to build a culture of safety from factory to road.
- Partnership creates a unified safety, data and operational intelligence layer across India’s EV logistics ecosystem
India, March 06, 2026: 3ev Industries, a Bengaluru-based three-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) OEM manufacturer and 3eco Systems, a full-stack EV logistics platform, today announced the large-scale deployment of dash cameras manufactured by Cautio across 10,000 electric three-wheeler fleet to protect drivers, passengers, and the community. Cautio is India’s leading video telematics company, manufacturing AI-powered dashcam systems.
More than 1,200 three-wheeler EVs equipped with dashcams are already live across Bengaluru and Chennai, with over 10,000 electric three-wheelers committed under the initiative, marking one of the most significant embedded AI safety rollouts in India’s electric three-wheeler segment to protect drivers on the roads. Cautio’s dash cam systems will be installed as a standard feature in all vehicles rolling off 3ev’s production lines.
This collaboration sets a new precedent for India’s electric mobility ecosystem by embedding safety as a factory-level default, creating a data moat across OEM and fleet layers, elevating driver welfare as a core pillar of mobility economics, and positioning intelligence-driven accountability as a competitive differentiator. As electric fleets scale nationwide, the benchmark will shift from vehicle electrification alone to intelligence-driven safety and operational excellence.
The partnership followed an extensive evaluation of global and domestic video telematics platforms, assessed across edge computing performance, real-time alert accuracy, device reliability in high-temperature and high-dust environments, analytics capability, and total cost of ownership. A decisive factor was Cautio’s India-first architecture. Unlike platforms built primarily for highway freight in developed markets, Cautio’s systems are purpose-built for Indian urban operating conditions: congested roads, inconsistent 4G connectivity, and extreme heat and dust. The technology is designed to function reliably even where network coverage is patchy, processing data directly on the device rather than depending on cloud connectivity for core safety functions.
“Our objective was not just to add monitoring hardware, but to deploy technology that meaningfully supports drivers on the road,” said Suman Mishra, Director at 3eco Systems. “Following a detailed evaluation across global and domestic platforms, Cautio emerged as the right partner, combining technical capability with a deep understanding of Indian operating conditions. Other platforms required reliable 4G connectivity that simply does not exist across all our routes. This collaboration reflects our continued focus on building a safety-first operating framework for drivers, fleet partners, and passengers – added Karan Kadaba, Director at 3ev Industries.
Cautio’s edge AI technology processes data directly on the device, eliminating cloud dependency, reducing lag, and minimising blind spots. Computer vision continuously tracks the driver’s eyes, face, and posture, and the moment it detects fatigue, distraction, or a phone in hand, the driver receives a real-time alert. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use the same vision pipeline to read the road ahead, flagging collision risks and lane departures in real time, even in the chaos of Indian mixed traffic where a three-wheeler shares the road with an 8-10 wheel truck. Every data point from every trip feeds into a single intelligent dashboard, giving fleet operators centralised, real-time operational visibility.
“What we are building with 3ev Industries and 3eco Systems is not a vendor-client relationship. It is a shared mission,” said Ankit Acharya, Co-Founder & CEO at Cautio. “The electric three-wheeler driver is the new face of India’s urban mobility workforce. These are young people building livelihoods, serving communities, connecting cities. They deserve the same level of safety that protects drivers in premium fleets. But safety cannot stop at a device – it must extend to how we train drivers, how we develop technology, and how we hold ourselves accountable to the communities we serve. India is asking for safer roads. With 3ev, and 3eco we are answering. This is more than a deployment. This is the start of building a safer country – added Ankit.
The collaboration extends beyond hardware deployment. As part of the multi-year strategic partnership, Cautio, 3ev and 3eco will invest jointly in research and development, driver training and education programmes, and community-level road safety advocacy, with the goal of establishing a replicable, structured approach to safety within electric three-wheeler operations. As fleet electrification accelerates across Indian cities and regulatory frameworks around commercial vehicle safety continue to evolve, embedded AI safety systems are expected to play an increasingly central role in operational standards and risk management.
