Revolutionizing Safety in India’s Fast-Growing Electric Mobility Sector
In a major move to elevate fleet safety standards, BillionE Mobility has rolled out Netradyne’s advanced Driver•i platform across its entire electric vehicle fleet. The implementation marks one of the most comprehensive adoptions of artificial intelligence-driven safety technology in India’s rapidly expanding electric mobility landscape.
Unlike conventional in-cab alert systems that only provide momentary warnings, Driver•i leverages edge-based AI and computer vision to monitor and analyze driver behavior throughout every trip. The platform detects high-risk actions such as distracted driving, mobile phone usage, tailgating, and harsh braking, while simultaneously recognizing and rewarding positive driving habits. This 360-degree approach delivers actionable insights that go far beyond basic alerts.Sa
njeev Kulkarni, CEO of BillionE Mobility, explained the strategic rationale behind the upgrade:
“Safety and operational efficiency must go hand in hand, especially in the electric vehicle segment. While our Ashok Leyland electric vehicles were already equipped with Netradyne’s basic in-cab alert systems, we wanted deeper, data-driven intelligence to coach drivers, reduce incidents, and optimize fleet performance. The Driver•i platform gives us exactly that — real-time analytics, on-demand video footage, and detailed performance dashboards.”The enhanced visibility is particularly valuable for electric fleets, where route optimization, regenerative braking patterns, and energy consumption are closely tied to driving style. Fleet managers can now correlate safety scores with range efficiency and maintenance requirements, creating a more holistic approach to EV operations.
Looking ahead, BillionE Mobility plans to extend Netradyne’s AI-enabled monitoring to its airport ground support equipment (GSE) operations. The focus will be on strengthening safety protocols around passenger boarding bridges, baggage handling zones, and apron movements — areas where human-machine interaction demands the highest vigilance.
Durgadutt Nedungadi, Senior Vice President for EMEA and APAC Business at Netradyne, welcomed the collaboration:
“BillionE Mobility is at the forefront of sustainable transportation in India. By integrating Driver•i, they are setting a new benchmark for how electric fleets can leverage AI not just for safety, but for overall operational excellence. This partnership combines our expertise in vision-based fleet intelligence with BillionE’s leadership in electric mobility-as-a-service.”Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, Netradyne has analyzed more than 25 billion miles of driving data worldwide through its proprietary AI and four-camera Driver•i system. The company serves commercial fleets across North America, Europe, and Asia.
BillionE Mobility operates a growing portfolio of electric buses and trucks, backed by end-to-end infrastructure that includes charging networks and digital fleet management platforms. The company is playing a pivotal role in India’s transition to zero-emission commercial transportation.
With road safety emerging as a national priority and electric vehicles projected to dominate urban logistics in the coming decade, partnerships like BillionE-Netradyne demonstrate how advanced AI can deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility solutions.
