SWITCH Mobility Pledges to Accelerate Zero-Emission Mobility Across India

As India marks its 80th Independence Day, SWITCH Mobility has pledged to continue its efforts towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for the nation’s mobility sector.

Ganesh Mani, CEO, SWITCH Mobility, said, “As India marks 80 years of independence, we at SWITCH Mobility are proud to pledge our continued commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future for the nation’s mobility. We have already deployed 2,900+ e-buses and put over 2,200+ eLCVs on Indian roads. With our zero-emission electric vehicles and sustainable operations, we aim to empower every eco-conscious business and consumer in India to move better together in the Viksit Bharat.”

SWITCH Mobility’s electric vehicles have already contributed to India’s decarbonisation efforts. In India alone, the company’s electric buses have collectively covered 150 million green kilometres. With nearly 5,000+ electric vehicles on the road globally, SWITCH Mobility has helped avoid over 1,50,000 tons of CO² emissions, equivalent to saving over 50 lakh trees.

The company’s sustainability approach is built around three pillars: being proven in the market through carbon neutrality, water positivity and resource efficiency. SWITCH Mobility continues to pursue leadership in ESG by engaging with global sustainability forums, including RE100, the Climate Group, CDP, the Science Based Targets initiative, GRI, The Climate Pledge and the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes.

The SWITCH EiV22 Electric Double Decker Bus won the Vivekananda Sustainability Award 2023 and the Green Machine Award at the Electric Vehicle Brands of the Year Awards 2024 by EMobility+.
