In a significant push towards sustainable transportation, LeafyBus, a New Delhi-based electric bus operator, has joined forces with AMU to roll out its first fleet of 10 electric buses for inter-city travel.

The NBFC will finance these buses and it will initially operate on high-traffic routes, including the Delhi-Dehradun corridor, marking a major step in accelerating India’s transition to green mobility. The partnership aligns with India’s growing focus on sustainable transport solutions, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

By addressing the need for cleaner mobility in high-demand routes, LeafyBus and AMU aim to reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance travel while providing a cost-effective transport option for passengers. LeafyBus’ new electric buses are designed with features that prioritize passenger safety and comfort.

Each bus is equipped with CCTV surveillance and real-time tracking, along with a dedicated “Bus Buddy” to assist passengers onboard. To ensure the highest safety standards, the buses come with Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), while maintaining a clean and comfortable interior for a smooth travel experience. Rohan Dewan Founder and CEO of Leafybus stated, “At LeafyBus, we aim to make electric travel the norm across India.

Partnering with AMU helps us get closer to this goal by making it easier for people to travel between cities in an eco-friendly way. Together, we can provide cleaner and more efficient transport options for everyone.” Nehal Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of Accelerated Money For U said: “We are delighted to assist the purchase of the first batch of 10 electric buses for inter-city operations by Leafybus.

By empowering Leafybus to expand their fleet, we are enabling cleaner and more efficient transport, driving a positive impact on both the environment and the future of mobility. We are creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation ecosystem together.” LeafyBus has recently partnered with JBM Electric Vehicles (P) Ltd. This partnership will see LeafyBus procure a total of 200 electric buses from JBM, with 50 buses being introduced in the first 12 months.
