Ultraviolette pushes free update to F77 electric motorcycle: What's new
Ultraviolette has updated its F77 electric motorcycle but there's a catch! The update comes not by changing any hardware, but purely through software. The Bengaluru-based startup has rolled out a performance update called the Gen3 Powertrain Firmware . Interestingly, it's completely free for all existing F77 owners. At the heart of this new update is a feature called Ballistic+, a new mode that injects more urgency into the throttle response, making the F77 feel quicker and more alive the moment you twist the throttle. While the bike's peak output figures remain unchanged at 40 hp and 100 Nm of torque, the riding experience is said to be sharper and more engaging. What makes this upgrade special is its intelligence. Ultraviolette has tapped into Violette A.I., its connected software system that learns from rider behaviour. This system has analysed data from over 8 million km of global on-road usage. It looks at how riders accelerate, how they brake, what kind of roads they ride on, and how they interact with the bike. All this information feeds into the bike's central brain, allowing it to continuously fine-tune performance through the new Ballistic+ mode. Kia Carens Clavis first drive review: Game-Changer for electric MPVs? | TOI Auto The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) of the F77 plays a crucial role in this transformation. It processes more than 3,000 data points in real time, adjusting the motor controller, drivetrain, and battery management system on the go. The result is a more dynamic and responsive motorcycle: all without touching the hardware. Battery capacities also remain unchanged at 7.1 kWh for the Mach 2 and 10.3 kWh for the Mach 2 Recon, with no revisions to range figures. What's even better is that this Gen3 firmware is fully backwards-compatible. So whether you're an early adopter or a recent buyer, you'll be able to download and install this upgrade free of cost.

India's First Mid-Haul Re-Powered Electric Truck Launches
Pune, July 22, 2025 — In a landmark development for India's logistics and sustainability sectors, Agarwal Packers & Movers Ltd. (APML), Henkel India, and Kalyani Powertrain Ltd. (a Bharat Forge Group company) have jointly launched the country's first mid-haul re-powered electric truck. The 8-ton vehicle, equipped with an indigenously developed electric powertrain kit from Kalyani Powertrain, is capable of covering up to 250 kilometers on a single charge while carrying a full cargo load. This initiative represents a significant advancement in the de-carbonization of medium-haul freight transport—a segment that has historically been underserved by electric mobility solutions. According to project estimates, each truck will help avoid over 50 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, setting a precedent for the future of sustainable freight in India. This move marks yet another industry-first for APML—after pioneering double-decker 'FlexiDEC" containers for the chemical and allied industries, the company is now leading the charge in long-haul electric trucking, setting a benchmark for green logistics transformation. The newly launched truck will initially operate on two key intercity routes: Chennai to Pune (1,321 km) and Pune to Halol (713 km). To ensure efficiency and minimal downtime, fast DC charging stations have been installed at strategic partner depots along these corridors. The event marked the first time a heavy-duty truck in India has been retrofitted with a fully electric powertrain and deployed on mid-range operational routes. These distances are traditionally considered too long for standard EVs and too short to justify new electric fleet investments. Speaking at the launch, Mr. Ramesh Agarwal of APML emphasized the environmental imperative of such innovations. 'At APML, we believe protecting the environment is a responsibility, not an option or obligation. This electric truck initiative is not just a business decision—it reflects our commitment to a greener, cleaner India," he said. The project validates EV retrofitting as a cost-effective, scalable, and low-risk path to decarbonize India's freight sector. The initiative sets an operational benchmark, complete with vehicle specs, charging protocols, and performance metrics for logistics players and government bodies nationwide. This strategic collaboration between three industry leaders not only sets a new benchmark in sustainable transportation but also strengthens India's position in the global clean mobility landscape.
