In an over-polluted and over-populated city like Kolkata, e-buses were one of the most awaited vehicles in the city.
Hidco and Coal India are producing air conditioned e-buses and are in the process of setting up the routes and speed of these environment friendly buses which would be seen mainly in Newtown and other such places where transportation is not easily available.
These environment friendly buses shall reduce the gas emission from the vehicles at large as these buses will be running on electricity.
The trial run has already started and these 32 seater environment friendly buses will be seen on the road within a period of few weeks.
Car-rental companies are considering introduction of self-driven electric vehicles as well as electric three wheelers soon.
With such environment friendly initiatives being taken, Kolkata is on the way to becoming a city with lesser pollution and shall offer its citizens a better quality of life.
