Winning contracts for the supply of electric buses with a number of state owned transport corporations amid competition from legacy manufacturers like Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and VE Commercial Vehicles, Telangana-based Goldstone BYD has introduced a new, seven meter electric city-bus for last mile connectivity. Adding to the two electric bus models that the company has been offering for some time in India, the seven meter electric city-bus, called the K6 eBuzz, aims at operations like feeder services. With new transportation mediums like metro and mono-rail coming up in various Indian cities, the segment of feeder service is displaying a strong potential for growth. The springing up of similar transportation services in neighbouring countries is also showing a strong potential for growth for as far as ebuses like these are concerned. It does not come as a surprise therefore that the first five eBuzz K6 electric buses are going to Nepal. Made as per the specifications of Lumbini Tourism Lines, Nepal, according to N K Rawal, Managing Director, Goldstone Infratech Ltd., the five eBuzz K6 electric buses point at a huge market out there for such ebuses. Claiming to be in discussion with private operators as they find value, Rawal expressed that India provides ample opportunity for local development and manufacture of such automobiles.
