Bengaluru govt plans to make 50% of govt vehicles electric by 2019

The aim is to replace 50% of petrol and diesel vehicles used by the state government staff in Bengaluru to eco-friendly electric vehicles (EV) by 2019 as per state minister for large and medium scale industries. As a part of the implementation strategy the Bengaluru urban development department will also amend the building bylaws to mandate 10-20% parking space for EV charging points along with preferential parking for EVs and adequate signage in the city to guide electric vehicle owners to the nearest e-charging slots. To counter Chinese domination in electric mobility in e-bus sector, home grown govt undertaking BHEL has unveiled a prototype of electric bus with a seating capacity of 43 and single charge run of 150 km and a maximum speed of 75 kmph. It will also have wifi, cctv cameras and LED display board along with GPS. #autojobs4u #Bengaluru #Electricvehicles #Governmentvehicles #Automobileindustry #Automotiveupdates hashtag
