River, known for its innovative approach to electric scooter manufacturing, has quickly emerged as a key player in India's electric two-wheeler market. With the formation of River Mobility Private Limited in Bengaluru, the company is well-positioned to cater to the increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation solutions in India.

This strategic allocation underscores River's commitment to innovation and growth in the EV sector.
Apart from Yamaha Motor, River's Series B funding round saw participation from existing investors, including Al-Futtaim Automotive, Lower carbon Capital, Toyota Ventures, Trucks Venture Capital, and Maniv Mobility. This collective support further validates River's potential and underscores the growing interest in electric vehicle technology.
With this latest funding, River has cumulatively raised $68 million across four rounds. This includes the previous round of $15 million announced in June, reflecting the confidence of investors in River's vision and capabilities.
River's ambitious plans, coupled with strong backing from major investors, highlight the increasing interest and investment in electric vehicle technology, particularly in the two-wheeler segment. As the world transitions towards more sustainable transportation options, startups like River are at the forefront of driving innovation and development in the EV industry.
