Revv increases fleet size; launches operations in three new cities

Delhi-NCR based shared mobility platform Revv has announced the launch of its car sharing services in three new cities (Mumbai, Chennai and Jaipur), taking its national footprint to seven cities.

Chennai and Jaipur are live already and Mumbai is slated to go live later this month. Each of the three cities is being launched at scale, with fleet size similar to what Revv has built up in other cities during the last 18 months.

All three cities get a brand new fleet, which includes hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs. The fleet has been curated to fit the needs of the customers, based on the demand pattern in these markets. Revv is already available in DelhiNCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chandigarh.

"The adoption in our current markets has been great, and we expect a similar trajectory of growth and adoption in the new markets that we are launching. This has also been validated by the early reception in new markets," said co-founders of Revv.

We are very excited about the prospects of serving customers in these new cities. Mumbai and Chennai have a strong local base. All three cities have high volumes of inbound traffic, for both work and leisure. In the two cities that have already gone live (Chennai and Jaipur), the early reception has been way beyond our expectations. In Chennai, the entire fleet was sold out within a day of going live.

This is the first time that we have launched three major cities in one shot, and it boosts our confidence that we can continue on our plan to scale to 20-25 cities by the end of 2017.

We continue to focus all our efforts on simplifying and enhancing the customer experience. Our unique operating model lets the customer literally "order" a car and also gives him the flexibility to start the trip at one place and end it at another.
