Double-decker buses are cool. Maybe it’s that they hold a lot of people, or maybe the inner child in all of us just thinks the idea of a multi-story building going down the road is just neat. Whatever the reason, they have a certain charm about them. And now, with Switch Mobility’s new electric double-decker bus, that charm is getting a modern twist.
“There is a need to transform the country’s transport system from a long-term perspective. With focus on reforming urban transport, we are trying to build a low footprint and high passenger density integrated EV mobility ecosystem,”, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India. “Government’s vision and policies are supportive towards EV adoption with growing consumer demand for greener solutions.
“As a carbon neutral mobility company Switch is focused on delivering innovative solutions to help authorities and operators decarbonise their public transport systems,” said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice Chairman and CEO – Switch Mobility Ltd. “The Switch EiV 22 is the latest such innovation and builds on our expertise within the electric double-decker segment to deliver a product with class leading efficiency for the Indian market.
The Switch EiV 22 is a battery-powered double-decker bus that can travel up to 250 km on a single charge. The battery pack is made of high density NMC chemistry and 2 liquid cooled strings, with a 231 kWh capacity. It also has a dual gun charging system.
On mobile this is how the top of the page looks - the photo is trimmed so much you can’t see the bus very well. Maybe repeat the image in full elsewhere in the article? (Even changing to landscape doesn’t help.)
