Ashok Leyland Limited’s electric mobility subsidiary, Switch Mobility, has expanded its international footprint with the delivery of 100 electric buses to the Government of Mauritius.
The development marks a significant milestone in India’s clean mobility exports and strengthens bilateral cooperation between India and Mauritius in sustainable transportation.
Switch Mobility stated that the shipment represents the largest export of electric buses from India to date. The buses were supplied under a government-to-government arrangement as part of India’s support to Mauritius for strengthening public transport infrastructure.
The final tranche of 90 buses was formally handed over during an official engagement attended by representatives of both governments.
The electric buses were supplied through an open tender process managed by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) and will be operated by Mauritius’ National Transport Corporation.
The deployment is expected to support the island nation’s broader push towards reducing carbon emissions and improving efficiency in public transport operations.
The supplied vehicles are Switch EiV12 electric buses, equipped with seating capacity for up to 45 passengers.
The buses feature telematics-based monitoring systems for real-time tracking and fleet management, lithium iron phosphate battery packs mounted under the floor for improved stability, and dual-gun charging interfaces to enable faster charging and smoother depot operations.
These features are designed to improve operational efficiency and fleet utilisation for transport operators.
The Mauritius deployment forms part of Switch Mobility’s international expansion strategy as the company continues to scale its electric commercial vehicle presence across overseas markets.
Switch Mobility has deployed over 2,400 electric buses globally and more than 2,500 electric buses in India, while also supplying intercity electric buses to various state transport undertakings.
