We’ve been studying heavy electric vehicles for the past few months. One interesting aspect about heavy electric vehicles is passenger buses.
Passenger buses are intracity (operating within a city) or intercity (across two towns and cities). For every single intercity bus, India has nine intracity buses. Buyers prefer intracity because it is easier to manage operations and have centralised charging infrastructure at bus depots.
Intercity buses have higher running than intracity buses, yielding better ROI for the buyers.
The government and private players have released investment and bus purchase announcements over the years to promote intercity travel.
