INDIA'S FIRST ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONED DOUBLE DECKER BUS (EiV 22) | SWITCH MOBILITY

On the 18th of August the anticipated Electric Double Decker bus from Switch Mobility was inaugurated Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari & Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde.
Switch Mobility, the electric vehicle making subsidiary of bus specialist Ashok Leyland, on Thursday 18th August, 2022, unveiled India’s first and electric double decker air-conditioned bus, Switch EiV 22, priced at around ₹2 crore.
Designed, developed and manufactured in India and utilising Switch’s global electric bus experience, Switch EiV 22 is world’s first semi-low floor, air conditioned, electric double decker with wider door on rear overhang and a rear staircase.
The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) in Mumbai will be the first in the country to get these buses. 200 such buses with a carrying capacity of 90 passengers will be inducted by BEST by June next year, with the first one scheduled to be delivered in the March quarter this year.
Switch’s electric Double Decker has a lightweight aluminium body construction - which the company claims offers higher passenger to weight ratio and a competitive cost per km per passenger.
The Switch EiV 22 has a 231-kWh capacity, 2-string, liquid cooled, higher density NMC chemistry battery pack with dual gun charging system. This enables the bus to have a range up to 250 kms for intra-city applications.
The Switch double decker can ferry nearly twice the number of seated passengers as a comparable single decker bus with just 18 per cent increase in kerb weight. The architecture of the double decker uses a 650 V system - the same platform as Switch EiV 12 launched in June, which is also common with Switch e1.
The Switch EiV 22 electric double-decker bus will be manufactured at the company’s Ennore plant in Tamil Nadu. Mumbai’s BEST has ordered 200 units that will operate between the Kurla and Colaba depots.

Along with the Double decker bus Switch EiV 12 & Olectra K9D 2.1 (12 meters) buses was also introduced.

मुंबई में जब पहली AC बस चलाई गई थी ,
बहुत अच्छा लग रहा था ,, लेकिन आज मिनी AC बस सरदर्द है , ना टाइमिंग है ना कंडक्टर है , ना टाइम टेबल है ,, जब बस फूल हो जाति है तो सांस लेना भी मुश्किल हो जाता है
उम्मीद करते है यह नई बसे मुंबई की शान बढ़ाएगी ,,
ना के घान बढ़ाएगी ,,

Muje 1 question tha buddy EV buses mai kitne traction motar lage hote hai
B.coz Maine PMPML MAI travel kiya to aaccha pickup kiya bt jabhi mai disel bus mai tarvel karta hu to pick up lene mai time lete hai aisa kyu

[@SaqibHunerkarVlogs]

Bhai abhi dekhne ja skte hai kya bus ko

[@Ash2travel]

Ja toh sakte ho par bus hoga nahin. It's gone to their depots.

[@menbeyondborders52]

Is double decker electric buses safe as incase of electric short circuit that can lead to fire 🔥 it would be harder for upper deck passengers to get to emergency exit which can lead to stampede like situation.

[@Ash2travel]

It's not an appliance bro 😅. Even trains run on electricity. If diesel also catches fire no matter the exits casualties will be there

[@Sanjayyadav-bp9oq]

@@Ash2travel you are absolutely right

[@Nikhil-xh5uv]

Please don't shoot at 60 FPS. It makes the video very shaky and unstable to watch. Maybe it's just for me, though ;) Probably since you were walking on the street a lot I must have found it that way. Great video though and fantastic details.

[@Ash2travel]

On c 42 route this first there is olectra k7 9 meter bus is scheduled but before 7days this new olectra k9 12m bus is scheduled to c 42 route and after 4,5 days this olectra k9 12m bus is discontinued. Why is it now come on road and again replaced c42 by this.k9 olectra

[@Ash2travel]

"Checking out the bus", it means how the bus looks and the interiors. Any person is shown the interiors to evaluate

[@doctormd1719]

Electric vehicles are very common now a days everywhere in the world, double decker is commonly use in London Moscow and all...
Why Indians are wondering when government is doing it's duty. Nothing special to think. It's the duty and delayed work when compare to other countries!!!
What the government is done is it's duty and money for it is from public only and not from the picket of any politicians first of all. Am I right ji
