Eicher Trucks & Buses, part of VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), has reached a significant milestone by producing its 50,000th bus at its Baggad Plant in Madhya Pradesh. This achievement, marked by the rollout of an Eicher Skyline Pro E electric bus, demonstrates the company's commitment to meeting India's evolving public transport needs.
Since its inauguration in 2013, the Baggad Plant has manufactured a wide range of buses, including light, medium, and heavy-duty variants. These buses come with diesel, CNG, and electric drivelines, catering to both domestic and international markets. The plant serves various segments, such as school buses, staff transportation, route permit buses, intercity buses, and tourist buses.
The Baggad Plant is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including advanced robotic paint systems and Integrated Management Systems certification. This highlights Eicher's focus on efficiency, quality, and environmental stewardship. The factory's modern infrastructure supports the production of high-quality buses while maintaining environmental sustainability.
Eicher Trucks & Buses has implemented robust sustainability initiatives at the Baggad Plant. The factory uses advanced energy management systems, such as VFD-enabled panels and energy-efficient motors, to optimize energy use and minimize waste. The plant operates on 42% renewable energy sources, including solar and mini-hydel power. Additionally, it received Platinum Green Factory building certification from IGBC in 2016 and was awarded Smart Factory of the Year in 2021.
Looking ahead, Eicher Trucks & Buses is committed to advancing alternative fuel technologies like CNG, LNG, and HCNG (hydrogen compressed natural gas), alongside its electric vehicle initiatives. The 50,000th bus, the Skyline Pro-E 9m model, represents the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology. Designed for urban environments, it features high-energy storage batteries and a reliable all-electric driveline, ensuring efficient, clean, and quiet operation. Safety and comfort features have been prioritized to enhance the passenger experience and comply with regulatory standards.
Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO of VECV, stated, "VECV has consistently remained ahead of the curve with significant advancements that offer best-in-class products across segments and compliant with all regulatory norms. This milestone further underscores our dedication to shaping the future of the Indian bus industry. We extend our gratitude to our dedicated team, esteemed customers, and channel partners for their unwavering support in making this achievement possible."
