Bengaluru 15th June 2024. NVS Travel Solutions has made a ground breaking move by launching India’s first-ever electric bus fleet dedicated to employee transportation in Bangalore. In collaboration with Eicher, a leading EV bus manufacturer, the first bus was handed over today, marking a significant milestone in sustainable corporate transport.
“NVS Travel Solutions, a pioneer in employee and school transportation since 2007, expands its innovative fleet to include electric buses. Despite the higher costs associated with EV buses, NVS Travel Solutions has developed a business model that enables corporations to efficiently achieve their carbon footprint reduction goals.”
Established in 2007, NVS Travel Solutions boasts a fleet of over 900 vehicles, including buses, mini-buses, and cars, with over 500 owned by the company. Renowned for its technological advancements, the company has developed an in-house app, Roorides, which simplifies the complex systems of school and employee transportation, enhancing service experiences.
The introduction of electric buses is particularly noteworthy given that EV buses cost 3-4 times more than conventional diesel buses. While government bodies have operated EV buses for public transportation under specific MoUs, NVS Travel Solutions is the first private operator to invest in this environmentally friendly technology for employee transportation.
Nagaraj N.V., CEO and founder of NVS Travel Solutions, highlighted the lack of government subsidies for EV buses, which has deterred other companies from adopting them despite the environmental benefits. ‘There is demand for EV buses for employee transportation, but the high costs have been a barrier. Our business model addresses this challenge, helping companies achieve their sustainability goals efficiently,’ he said.
Nagaraj emphasized the company’s focus on safety and reliability, stating, ‘Our Employee Transport Solution prioritizes reliable, safe transportation systems and transparent pricing, offering various service options without compromising quality, safety, comfort, and convenience for both schools and enterprises.’
The launch of NVS Travels’ EV bus fleet represents a major step towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting a greener future. This initiative sets a new benchmark in the corporate transport industry, showcasing NVS Travels’ commitment to providing reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable transport solutions.
