Indian transport minister calls for complete green conversion for NMC buses

In India, the transport minister has set the challenge to Nagpur Municipal Corporation to transition its entire bus fleet to biofuels. The NMC recently introduced 20 ethanol-powered buses following a two-year trial. The green line will be managed by Scania whom the minister has called upon to open a bus manufacturing facility in the region. A total of 55 green buses are being introduced, but he called for the immediate tendering of 100 biogas-powered and electric buses. The NMC’s fleet will have 487 buses.
