Tata Motors has commenced trials of its 9-m electric bus in Guwahati. With a seating capacity of 26-34 passengers, the full-auto transmission Tata Ultra electric bus was flagged off by Anand Prakash Tiwari, Managing Director, Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC), on October 16, 2017, making it the first state transport undertaking (STU) in Eastern India to start trials of an electric vehicle. The STU in collaboration with Tata Motors will run the trials for 7 days.
This trial follows the successful trials of the 9-m electric bus from Parwanoo to Shimla a few months ago, where the bus covered 160 kms in one full charge. Tata Motors said trials in Chandigarh also showed ‘very encouraging’ results in a running of 143 kms, covering approximately 70% of the charge. These trials are part of the Ministry of Road Transport’s agenda for the electrification of public transport, for which Tata Motors is getting ready with its range of electric vehicles, from 9 meters to 12 meters with various seating configurations, as well as its last mile passenger transport vehicle, the Tata Magic Iris.
