Hinduja Group flagship Ashok Leyland on Monday unveiled the country’s first Circuit electric bus designed and engineered in India. The electric bus is a zero-emission vehicle created by Ashok Leyland specifically for Indian roads, and this new Circuit range of vehicles will be offered on multiple platforms.

Managing Director of Ashok Leyland Vinod K Dasari said, “The Circuit series of buses is another testament to Ashok Leyland’s commitment to leverage India’s technological innovation to deliver relevant and best-in-class solutions for India and the world. In April 2015, at FAME Delhi workshop, we had committed to vehicles with full electric power trains by January ’17.”
