Hitachi Energy and Ashok Leyland Aim for 20-Second Electric Bus Charging

Hitachi Energy and Ashok Leyland have joined forces to revolutionize the electric bus charging infrastructure. Their ambitious goal is to reduce the charging time for electric buses to just 20 seconds, a significant leap forward in the world of electric transportation.

This groundbreaking partnership aims to address one of the major challenges facing the adoption of electric buses - the lengthy charging times. The project envisions the deployment of cutting-edge ultra-fast charging technology that will enable electric buses to charge as quickly as traditional diesel ones refuel.

This innovation has the potential to transform the public transportation landscape, making electric buses more practical and efficient for both operators and passengers. The collaboration between Hitachi Energy, a global leader in energy solutions, and Ashok Leyland, a renowned Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer, holds promise for the electrification of public transportation systems not only in India but around the world. It aligns with the global push for sustainable mobility and reduced carbon emissions.
