The Government of Tamil Nasu has conducted the trial runs for Ashok Leyland electric buses.
The Government of Tamil Nadu conducted trial runs of electric buses provided by the commercial vehicle manufacturer, Ashok Leyland.
The introduction of the electric buses is a part of the modernisation of the transport services offered in Tamil Nadu.
Transport Minister, M R Vijayabhaskar said, "We undertook the trial run of electric vehicle in the presence of Transport Department Principal Secretary PWC Davidar, officials of Ashok Leyland and Metropolitan Transport Corporation today.. It was done successfully."
The Transport Minister stated that the electric buses are introduced to modernise the services offered by the Transport Department.
Vijayabhaskar added, "The vehicle performed well during the trial run. The government will take up initiatives to introduce electric bus service permanently."
Last year, Ashok Leyland unveiled the electric bus named as ‘Circuit'. The bus was completely designed and engineered in India with zero emissions and suitable for Indian conditions.
Ashok Leyland Managing Director, Vinod K Dasari said, "The Circuit series of buses is another testament to Ashok Leyland's commitment to leverage India's technological innovation to deliver relevant and best-in-class solutions for India and the world."
The Circuit electric bus is equipped with fire detection and suppression system. On a single charge, the electric bus can cover a distance of 120km. We hope that other states too will implement the electric buses which will bring down the carbon emission.
