BillionElectric, an e-mobility as a service (e-MaaS) platform, has raised $10 million in a seed round of equity and asset lease funding from high net-worth individuals (HNIs) and family offices based out of India.
The funds will be used to deploy electric tarmac buses at Bengaluru international airport and develop a mid-mile heavy EV truck platform, the company said in a release.
The funds will help expand operations, which includes a contract to increase services to 10 more airports across the country following the initial launch in Bengaluru in collaboration with Veera Vahana.
