Switch will use the $150-200 million in new vehicle segments, technology, partnerships, and manufacturing. The company is planning vehicles at different price ranges, modular battery configuration, low-cost sourcing and manufacturing, opex-based ownership solution, among others, under its growth initiative.

Dheeraj Hinduja, Chairman, Switch Mobility, and Ashok Leyland told the media that the company is looking at zero-carbon mobility as strategically important, that would manifest itself in the electric vehicle portfolio and services through eMaaS and Switch.

The group expects the addressable market for electric buses and light trucks globally to be at $70 billion by 2030 from $5 billion now.

It is also looking at pay-per-mile and subscription-based ownership models becoming the new trend to cover passenger and cargo mobility sectors. To address this, it will follow the 'Mobility as a Service' model also, which will be under a new entity and branded as OHM.
