Case study
From Concept to Production: Aquila EV × Alpha
How Aquila EV became the flagship first OEM customer for Alpha in-campus vehicles on the TEV Platform
Flagship OEM partner
Aquila EV
Aquila EV came to Triox with a clear ambition: a smart, energy-efficient electric utility vehicle for campus commute and fleet operations — designed and made in India, validated to global standards, and competitive with imported alternatives.
Using the TEV Platform as the foundation, Triox engineering executed the journey from concept through design, prototyping, GARC validation, and production — delivering the Alpha range of in-campus e-carts, e mini buses, and cargo LSEVs.
Aquila EV is our flagship first production OEM customer. The partnership proves that India's ODM ecosystem can deliver world-class in-campus electric vehicles — and that more assemblers and distributors can build on the same TEV Platform.
