Founded in 2022 by Naresh Rawal, Qucev partners with the China-based EV manufacturer BYD, focusing on designing and manufacturing electric tractors, trucks, buses, and three-wheelers with an emphasis on sustainable and economical mobility solutions. Beyond its manufacturing and sales operations, Qucev also provides financing options, charging infrastructure, and fleet management solutions.
Startup data intelligence platforms reveal that Qucev has previously raised around $4 million from Singularity AMC, Barclays, and Maa Creations.
