Electric buses in Ladakh are setting a compelling example in the fight against climate change. Ladakh’s Leh and Kargil regions have embraced the services of 19 electric buses (eBuses) from PMI Electro Mobility Solutions for over a year now operating on various local routes and accumulating an impressive distance of over 1,050,000 kilometres. Notably, regenerative braking solutions integrated in these eBuses during downhill movement enhances the efficiency by recovering and recharging onboard batteries. The Intelligent Transportation Management System (ITMS) software seamlessly integrates to enable intelligent and optimal management of electric buses. It automatically tracks schedules, monitors the state of charge (eliminating range anxiety), assesses vehicle range, and manages allocated routes.
