DEHRADUN, India: In a first-of-its-kind move, the citizens of Dehradun will be now able to travel in Zero Emission and noiseless Electric Buses from Olectra Greentech Limited, a leading player in Electric Public Transport System in India. Honourable Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Trivendra Singh Rawat, flagged off these buses on Friday. Speaking on the occasion, “We are planning to start these 30 eco-friendly electric buses in this financial year. These buses will run in the hill terrains of Dehradun, Mussoorie, Rishikesh and Haridwar,” he said. 

These 9-Meter Air-Conditioned buses have a seating capacity of 25+Wheelchair+Driver with electronically controlled air suspension to ensure a comfortable ride to the passengers. The buses are equipped with CCTV cameras to ensure the safety of the commuters, a hydraulic wheelchair ramp facility for differently-abled and elderly people, Emergency button and USB Sockets too. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery installed in the bus enables it to travel up to 180 KMs on a single charge depending on traffic conditions. The technologically advanced electric bus has a regenerative braking system which allows the bus to recover part of the kinetic energy lost in braking. The high-power AC charging system enables the battery to get fully recharged in between 3-4 hours.
