Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) general manager Lokesh Chandra said that BEST has proposed to convert 220 diesel buses from Mumbai in order to make it run on “green hydrogen”. He also said that a pilot project for the same has been planned with the Union Transport Ministry.
The decision comes a few days after Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated India’s first double decker electric bus in Mumbai. It must be noted that “green hydrogen” is much cheaper and pollution free than diesel and petrol. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Unveils India’s First Double Decker AC Electric Bus in Mumbai.
Giving Gadkari’s example, Chandra said that BEST wants to explore similar technologies as it wants to get rid of all polluting buses in its fleet. He also said by 2023, BEST will have 100 percent green energy buses.
