‘Let Us Drive Together into the Future’
India is witnessing rapid urbanization, led to an increase in demand for basic services including housing, water, sanitation, and transport. The total number of registered motor vehicles in India has increased rapidly over the past decade. The rapid increase in private vehicle ownership is mainly due to the lack of good public transport facility.
Currently, there are around 1.6 million registered buses in India, out of which only 170,000 are operated by public bus operators. Only 5,000 buses are operated under a PPP model for city bus operation. There is a need to increase the supply of buses in Indian cities to develop sustainable public transport. However, the cities should have a larger vision to curb dependence on fossil fuel and reduce CO2 emissions. It is right time that public transport vehicles shift their source of power from diesel to electric.
Navrattan Holdings Limited (NHL) has become the first company to introduce and manufacture electric, composite E-bus in India. Navrattan Holdings Limited is the Science & Technology venture of Navrattan Group, a business group that is dedicated to bringing environmental changes by introducing Eco-friendly and sustainable technologies. The company is the research and development hub of the business group.
Navrattan Holdings Limited (NHL) will soon be setting up a manufacturing plant in Maharashtra, India to produce and provide this revolutionary innovation in electric transportation. The NHL is the only manufacturer of E-bus in India. At present 50 buses are up and running across the globe that is successfully tried and tested over 3 million kilometers of distance. The idea was brought alive with the efforts of Mr. Himansh Verma, the Founder & Chairman of Navrattan Group.
Talking about the features and benefits of the innovation; The E-bus will be developed and manufactured using a glass fiber composite technology and modular manufacturing processes that are able to produce high quality and efficient electric buses. Navrattan’s E — bus has higher efficiency than other available electric buses as its body is made up of high-quality composite plastic unlike aluminum bodies of other electric buses. Fast and rapid AC and DC charging system for all types of electric cars and busses significantly provide cross-selling opportunities of the present products and services of traditional gas stations, large supermarkets, and plazas. The arrowhead framework provides for compatible management, remote diagnosis, RFID identification, standard remote supervision system, central accounting system, and measurement of real power consumption, status query via mobile application along with many direct and personalized connections with the consumers.
Electric Bus is a 3-in-1 innovation providing the electric drive with worldwide best parameters, composite body, and modularity.
