Electric busses have changed the way of travelling, not only it has helped to confront with pollution by reducing carbon emission but have also made travelling extremely comfortable. The age old deiseal busses have taken a back seat over the years. Large numbers of passengers today opt for the electric busses especially when it comes to long distance interstate travelling. “Today, travelling has become easy and comfortable because electric busses offer the same comfort that any train offers you. Travelling by bus redefined,” said Rashmi at the ISBT, Delhi. There are numerous players in the sector but one of the prime and premiere player in electric air-conditioned busses is the NueGo busses from Green Cell Mobility.
The Nuego, flagged off Kashmir to Kanyakumari (E-K2K) electric bus expedition from its depot hub in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The event was attended by Subhendu J Sinha, Advisor, NITI Aayog, Government of India, Dr Sanjeev K Lohia, Sr Advisor, The World Bank, Abhijeet Sinha, Project Director (NHEV), Amit Bhatt, MD, ICCT India and Devendra Chawla MD & CEO, Green Cell Mobility.
“We have named the travel experience as E-K2K electric bus expedition simply because it’s not like regular travelling but the bus would stop at various places and would engage in activities like – student’s workshops, tree plantation, clean-up initiatives apart from enjoying cultural events and nukkad nataks (street plays),” said Devendra Chawla who maintained that the bus would complete the tour in the scheduled time of two-weeks. “The bus truly embodies the spirit of “the E-bus that does good” while focusing India’s commitment to innovation and green technology,” added Chawla.
These state-of-the-art busses would cover travel over 4000 kilometers across more than 200 towns and cities on the Kashmir to Kanyakumari route. “The NueGo ambitious E-K2K journey will travel from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, demonstrating the resilience of electric busses across diverse terrains of India”, said Devendra Chawla MD & CEO, Green Cell Mobility.
One of the major question that arises when one talks of the electric vehicles is the charging facilities especially when embarking on a long distance travelling. The best part is NueGo has erected its own charging facilities across various places and would soon increase the points to have hassle free travelling. Apart from that, the brand believes in women empowerment and most of its busses have women drivers.
NueGo is a premium electric bus coach brand from GreenCell Mobility and operates across more than 110 cities. “NueGo busses are equipped with artificial intelligence driven cameras that would capture even a driver yawns and would send the driver a message asking them to take rest. This would help to ease the pressure on the driver often resulting into highway accidents,” informed Devendra Chawla.
