    Routematic partners with Green SM to accelerate EV adoption in corporate transportation

    Routematic, a leading AI-powered corporate mobility solutions provider serving over 400 enterprises across India, has entered into a strategic partnership with Green SM, a global all-electric mobility brand originating from Vietnam. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in corporate transportation and support India’s transition towards sustainable mobility.

    The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the official launch event of Green SM in New Delhi. This agreement marks an important milestone in pursuing eco-friendly transportation solutions within one of the world’s fastest growing mobility markets.

    As part of the collaboration, Routematic will integrate Green SM’s electric vehicles into its corporate mobility fleet, enabling businesses to provide fully electric transportation options for employees. This initiative is expected to help organizations reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining high standards of safety, operational efficiency and service reliability.

    By combining Routematic’s AI-enabled mobility platform with Green SM’s electric vehicle ecosystem, the partnership seeks to create a smarter, cleaner and more sustainable commute experience for corporate workforces across India. The alliance reflects the growing momentum behind electrification in the corporate transportation sector, as businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability goals and environmentally responsible mobility solutions.

    This collaboration further strengthens Routematic’s commitment to sustainable mobility and expands its efforts to drive electric vehicle adoption in corporate transportation. As enterprises increasingly prioritize sustainability, ESG goals and carbon reduction, employee transportation is emerging as a significant opportunity for large-scale electrification. Routematic is actively driving this transformation, with recent analysis of its EV operations in Bengaluru and Pune showing that the deployment of over 400 electric vehicles has helped enterprises avoid approximately 15.7 lakh liters of fuel consumption annually, demonstrating the real environmental and operational benefits of electrified workforce mobility at scale. Today, Routematic’s corporate EV fleet operations serve key business hubs including Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi-NCR.

    “At Routematic, sustainability has been a key pillar of our long-term mobility vision. We are continuously expanding the adoption of electric vehicles in our transportation ecosystem and the positive impact EV-led corporate mobility can have for enterprises and the environment. Our partnership with Green SM is another important milestone in this journey, enabling us to enhance sustainable employee transportation while providing the safety, reliability and operational excellence for which our customers rely on us”, Co-Founder and Kavita Ramachandra Gowda said.

    Mr. Bach Tuan Anh, CEO of Green SM India, said: “We are delighted to work with Routematic as Green SM begins its journey in India. Building green mobility is not only about introducing electric vehicles, but also about working with partners who understand the daily mobility needs of businesses, employees and cities. Through this collaboration, Green SM will be empowered with Routematic’s deep knowledge of corporate mobility. We look forward to combining our experience in all-electric fleet operations to create practical solutions that can support India’s sustainable growth.”

    Green SM, a global electric ride-hailing and mobility platform, officially launched operations in India on June 5, 2026, with Delhi-NCR as its first market. Driven by its “Ride 5 Star” service commitment, the Green SM all-electric 7-seater VinFast Limo Green SUV brings an integrated service model built on professionally trained drivers, safety standards and proven fleet operation experience across multiple markets. By combining Green SM’s electric vehicle fleet with Routematic’s AI-powered transportation and fleet management platform, route optimization capabilities and operational expertise, the partnership is expected to provide a modern, efficient and sustainable transportation model for corporate customers in India.

    India’s corporate mobility landscape is undergoing rapid change, driven by the expansion of business hubs, growth of Global Competence Centers (GCCs), increasing focus on employee wellness and rising sustainability expectations. As organizations look for practical ways to reduce their carbon footprint, electrification of workforce transportation is emerging as a key area of ​​focus.

    Through this latest partnership, Routematic and Green SM aim to help enterprises transition towards clean workforce mobility while supporting India’s broader ambitions around sustainable transportation, fleet electrification and net-zero targets.

  • Fuel price fluctuations accelerate EV adoption: Routematic saves ₹65 lakh every 15 days |

    Fuel price fluctuations accelerate EV adoption: Routematic saves ₹65 lakh every 15 days |

    Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and fuel price volatility disrupting global oil markets, fresh data from corporate mobility platform Routematic underlines the growing financial benefits of electrifying fleet operations.

    Routematic, an AI-enabled corporate mobility provider serving over 400 enterprises across 24 cities in India, has deployed a fleet of over 400 company-owned electric vehicles (EVs) within its employee transportation network in Bengaluru and Pune.

    Operational insights show that these EVs are collectively helping to avoid approximately 65,400 liters of fuel consumption every 15 days compared to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles under similar usage conditions. With fuel prices hovering around ₹100 per litre, this translates to an impressive ₹65 lakh savings in fuel costs every 15 days.

    On an annual basis, these savings are estimated to exceed ₹15 crore, strengthening the strong business case for EV adoption in corporate fleet operations while reducing dependence on fluctuating fuel markets.

    If the ongoing situation continues throughout the year, the company estimates that its current EV deployment could help it avoid fuel consumption of more than 15.7 lakh liters annually, leading to annual fuel cost savings of about Rs 15.7 crore at current fuel prices.

    These estimates are based on Routematic’s current EV deployment and current market fuel prices, reflecting the savings potential from electrifying a portion of the corporate transportation fleet. The company said that if its entire fleet were converted to electric vehicles, the fuel savings and cost efficiency could be significantly higher.

    The data highlights the growing economic rationale behind electrification as fuel prices fluctuate amid global geopolitical developments. For enterprises, EV adoption is emerging as a strategic hedge against global fuel volatility, and not just a sustainability initiative. However, despite the obvious economic and sustainability benefits, the adoption of structured and customized corporate commute systems is limited. According to a recent Routematic research report, “Navigating the Corporate Commute for GCCs in India: Benchmarking Corporate Commute Maturity Report”, more than 60% of Global Competence Centers (GCCs) in India still lack integrated commute systems, indicating a significant gap in how enterprises approach employee mobility.

    Sriram Kannan, Founder and CEO of Routematic, said the latest global energy disruptions are reinforcing the strategic importance of fleet electrification. “Global geopolitical tensions and the resulting volatility in fuel prices once again highlight the vulnerability of fuel-dependent mobility systems. Electrification in mobility is no longer just about sustainability, it is about cost sustainability and operational efficiency, especially for enterprises running large, round-the-clock transportation networks. At Routematic, we are seeing improved efficiency and cost benefits from converting corporate transportation to EVs, combined with intelligent routing and fleet optimization By doing so, fuel dependence can be significantly reduced”.

    Employee transport vehicles typically travel 100–150 kilometers per day on fixed pickup and drop routes, making them particularly suitable for electrification due to their predictable routes and high usage levels. Routematic’s EV fleet currently drives an average of approximately 120 kilometers daily per vehicle, allowing enterprises to achieve significant fuel cost savings while reducing emissions.

    The company leverages its AI-powered fleet intelligence platform to optimize routing, scheduling, and vehicle deployment across the employee transportation network. The platform also analyzes battery charge levels and charging cycles, ensuring that EVs are deployed efficiently while maintaining high fleet utilization.

    As fuel price volatility continues to impact transportation economics, electrification of high-usage corporate fleets is being seen as a practical path for enterprises to stabilize operating costs while supporting India’s broader sustainability and energy transition goals. Routematic currently manages over 15,000 employee transportation trips every day on its network with a fleet of over 7,500 vehicles. As part of its long-term sustainability roadmap, the company is actively expanding its EV fleet, working with enterprise customers and fleet partners to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in corporate transportation networks.
