What It Means for Bus Operators |
The buses will be operated by Evey Trans and will serve urban routes of the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation. The launch adds to the growing number of electric buses running in Indian cities.
Features of the 9-Metre Electric Buses
The new fleet consists of 9-metre electric buses that come with CCTV cameras, digital destination boards with integrated passenger announcement systems, vehicle location tracking, USB charging ports, door air curtains and digital instrument clusters. For comparison, TrucksBuses lists the Eicher Skyline Pro E 9M, another 9-metre electric bus, with 32+D seating and a GVW of 12,800 kg. The report does not give the battery size or range of the Olectra buses.
Operator and Service Start
Evey Trans will run the buses, and commercial passenger services are scheduled to begin on Monday, 2 November, across the city's urban routes. The announcement does not list the routes, fares or the exact number of daily trips, so commuters will need to check these with the municipal corporation.
Olectra's Nationwide Footprint
With this deployment, Olectra Greentech says it has more than 4,500 electric vehicles on the road across more than 55 cities. Mahesh Babu, Managing Director of Olectra Greentech, said the buses have covered over 750 million green kilometres and that the company measures progress by the impact on everyday mobility, passenger experience and the environment, not only by the number of buses.

What It Means for Bus Operators
City bus fleets are shifting to electric models operated by specialist companies, which lets municipal bodies add modern, air-conditioned buses without running them directly. Private operators who are looking at their own fleet plans can browse the full range of new buses on TrucksBuses to compare seating, size and fuel types.
Those who are not ready to invest in new vehicles can check the listings of used buses for a lower upfront cost. The contract terms and the value of this deployment have not been shared.
