Delhi gets first electric rural service vehicle under Green Mobility Campaign, know details
EV: To promote environmentally friendly transport, the first electric rural service vehicle was recently officially registered in Delhi.
To promote environmentally friendly transport, the very first electric rural service bus has now officially been registered in Delhi. This bus is specially made to provide last-mile connectivity. This bus has six passengers plus one driver capacity.
Gramin Seva, introduced during the year 2011, is one paratransit mode consisting of high-density three-wheelers serving rural localities, unauthorized resettlement colonies, and JJ (slum) clusters. These make a substantial contribution where the infrastructure for transport is very weak.
The Delhi Government has directed all the rural service cars run by CNG under the 2010-11 scheme to be replaced by their electric counterparts. This has been done to curb pollution and boost clean transport.
Chandu Chaurasia, President of Delhi Gramin Seva Sangh, expressed happiness over this important step and said, "It is a matter of happiness for us that the first electric Gramin Seva vehicle has been registered in Delhi. We congratulate the Transport Department, the government, and the new administrative team, which aims to bring about a change in 100 days. We hope that the government will also provide subsidies and discounts to support this change."
