Electric, hydrogen-run buses to operate feeder trips from metro stations
The Hindu
A fleet of 200 e-autos too is expected shortly
Aimed at ushering in a mode of sustainable feeder network from Kochi metro corridor, Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is readying to launch a fleet of e-buses.
They include nine e-buses on lease, on the lines of what KSRTC has mooted. In addition, discussions are under way to purchase a total of 10 e-buses. The option of augmenting this by adding a fleet of hydrogen-cell-powered buses is being probed. The feasibility of procuring 10 such buses for operation too is under consideration, in keeping with the government’s efforts to ensure that all public transport vehicles operate on renewable sources of energy by 2030, it is learnt.
The electric and hydrogen-cell powered buses are expected to operate from metro stations to Kochi’s immediate suburbs.
