Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari unveiled India’s first electric double-decker air-conditioned bus in Mumbai.
Manufactured by Ashok Leyland-backed Switch Mobility Ltd (Switch), the electric double-decker has more capacity and can carry nearly twice the number of seated passengers as compared to single-decker buses.
The Switch EiV 12 is the first fully electric bus specifically designed for the Indian market.
The architecture of the double-decker uses a 650 V system - the same platform as Switch EiV 12, launched in June 2022, which is also common with Switch e1.
