Tata Motors has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Green Energy Mobility Solutions (GEMS), the electric vehicle arm of Universal Bus Services (UBS). As part of the agreement, Tata Motors will supply 100 Magna EV intercity coaches to Tamil Nadu.
The signing took place at the Passenger Vehicle Expo 2.0 in Chennai.
The buses will be 44-seater all-electric Magna EV coaches designed for intercity travel. They will be deployed across key routes in Tamil Nadu, supporting UBS’s shift toward electric public transport. UBS is a well-established private bus operator in South India. These e-buses with up to 300km range on a single charge are equipped with an electronic braking system (EBS) and electronic stability control (ESC).
The MoU was signed in the presence of Tamil Nadu’s Industries Minister, Dr. T R B Rajaa, and other government officials. Members of the All Omni Bus Owners Association (AOBOA) also attended the event. The state government is currently working with private players to expand clean mobility infrastructure.
Green Energy Mobility Solutions, recently formed by UBS, will oversee the deployment and operations of the new electric fleet. The company is also working on a charging infrastructure to support the coaches. UBS plans to integrate EVs into its long-distance travel operations.
