In a major push toward safer electric mobility, 3ev Industries, a Bengaluru-based electric three-wheeler manufacturer, and 3eco Systems, a full-stack EV logistics platform, have partnered with Cautio, an Indian video telematics company, to deploy AI-powered dash cameras across 10,000 electric three-wheelers. The initiative aims to enhance road safety for drivers, passengers, and the wider community through advanced monitoring and real-time alerts.
More than 1,200 EV three-wheelers equipped with Cautio’s dashcams are already operational in Bengaluru and Chennai, with the remaining vehicles set to be rolled out in phases. The AI-based systems, which will now come as a standard factory-installed feature in all 3ev vehicles, use edge computing and computer vision to detect driver fatigue, distraction, and collision risks while providing real-time alerts and advanced driver assistance capabilities.
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.
The collaboration sets a new benchmark in India’s electric mobility ecosystem by embedding safety at the OEM manufacturing level rather than as an aftermarket addition. Cautio’s technology is specifically designed for Indian urban conditions, ensuring reliable performance even in areas with poor connectivity, extreme temperatures, and high dust levels by processing data directly on the device instead of relying on cloud networks.
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.
Beyond hardware deployment, the partnership will also focus on joint research and development, driver training programs, and community-level road safety initiatives. As electric fleets expand across India, the partners believe AI-driven safety systems will become a critical component of fleet operations, improving driver welfare, operational efficiency, and accountability across the EV logistics sector.
