The 2019 budget brought sharp focus on electric mobility after the FAME II program. The added incentives, tax rebate and lowering of GST, has all been for the consumers as well as the automakers to invest and innovate in electric vehicles.
While private auto giants and startups have been catering to the commercial and private fleet of electric vehicles, very few names have come forward for public transport modes such as buses.
In the latest report by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, the institute has focussed on charging electric buses for intracity routes. The report titled, ‘CHARGING INDIA’S BUS TRANSPORT’ brings out some interesting insights into the e-bus and charging technology market and provides guidance to plan to charge infrastructure for an intra-city e-bus fleet.
This report is expected to go a long way in facilitating the transition of the public bus transport in a Tier-I or Tier-II city in India to transition to a fully electric fleet. The report presents an exhaustive and detailed study on e-bus transport in the Indian context.
Key Highlights:
The findings of this research are expected to help in the decision-making of the State Road Transport Undertakings and private bus operators, state nodal agencies, OEMs, charging service providers and policymakers. The report also carries case studies from China, Europe and Korea to draw conclusions from their policy and technology adoption in electrifying public transport systems.
