Trevel EV ride hailing plans four new cities and 2.5 million funding

Commuters looking for reliable zero cancellation rides will soon see more of Trevel as the mass-premium EV fleet prepares to enter four new urban markets. Co-founder Sahil Jindal announced the expansion strategy alongside a fresh fundraising round of $2.5 million to scale operations.

Funding goals for the expansion

The company is currently locking down financial backing to support its aggressive growth targets across upcoming regions. Bringing in $2.5 million will primarily fund fleet additions and technology infrastructure upgrades needed to handle higher booking volumes.

• Securing 2.5 million dollars in fresh capital
• Deploying more electric vehicles to the active fleet
• Upgrading backend dispatch and booking software
• Preparing ground teams in the target regions

Target cities for the new fleet

While the exact names of all four new urban centres are still being finalised, the rollout focuses on high-density metropolitan areas with heavy daily cab demand. Riders in these locations often struggle with high cancellation rates from traditional operators, which this model aims to eliminate.

Operating model and zero cancellations

The core pitch to users relies on a strict policy against driver-initiated ride cancellations, which remains a major pain point on other aggregators. By maintaining tighter control over fleet utilisation and driver incentives, the service intends to build reliability for daily office commuters.
