Vehicles locally built in partnership with MG Group
If all the Indian bus manufacturers present at the 2018 Auto Expo were keen to showcase their latest electric vehicles, Goldstone Infratech is probably to be blamed! Jimmying the first-mover advantage in terms of battery-electric buses in India, the Hyderabad-based company is surging ahead in the market race for affordable zero-emission bus transport, even when the race isn’t clear-cut for many other bus makers yet.
Goldstone entered into an agreement with the China-based BYD Auto sometime in late 2016, spent the entire next year in field trials of imported electric bus prototypes at various centres across the country, and now back with locally-designed and built production versions that are up for grabs. I forgot to mention that Goldstone’s new buses are already inducted in the only two STUs that use emission-free buses in the country – HRTC and BEST – for commercial public operations.
