Charged EVs | FlixBus and Green Drive Mobility to launch electric intercity bus services in India
Green Drive Mobility, an EV mobility and logistics platform, has partnered with intercity transport provider FlixBus to launch electric intercity bus services in India.
As part of the first phase of this partnership, four electric buses will be launched on the high-demand Vijayawada-Visakhapatnam corridor, one of Andhra Pradesh’s busiest travel routes.
The Vijayawada-Vizag corridor connects two key economic and cultural hubs of Andhra Pradesh and experiences strong passenger demand throughout the year.
Green Drive Mobility plans to expand its electric intercity bus operations across additional routes in South India.
The collaboration brings together FlixBus’s global travel-technology platform and digital ticketing network with Green Drive Mobility’s electric fleet operations and mobility infrastructure. Passengers on this route will enjoy electric long-distance buses equipped with modern amenities, as well as seamless digital ticket booking through the FlixBus platform.
“Deploying EV buses on the Vijayawada-Vizag corridor allows us to provide a sustainable travel option while reducing carbon emissions and enhancing passenger comfort,” said Harikrishna, founder and CEO, Green Drive Mobility.
“India is one of the most dynamic markets for intercity travel, and we see significant potential for technology-enabled and more sustainable transport solutions,” said Surya Khurana, Managing Director, FlixBus India. “Through our partnership with Green Drive Mobility, we are bringing FlixBus’s global travel-tech platform to support electric bus operations while improving access to reliable, affordable, and more environmentally responsible travel.”
