SWITCH Mobility has handed over 100 electric vehicles to the Indore Municipal Corporation to support the city’s waste management efforts. The SWITCH IeV3, purpose-built for efficient collection and transportation of wet and dry waste, will replace traditional diesel-powered vehicles, helping to lower carbon emissions and noise pollution.
The handover ceremony was attended by Urban Development and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya and Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav.
“We are proud to support Indore in its mission for a cleaner future,” said Mahesh Babu, CEO of SWITCH Mobility. “As India’s cleanest city, Indore continues to set the benchmark—and we’re proud to be part of that journey.”
Each vehicle is equipped with SWITCH iON, the company’s advanced connected vehicle platform, which offers real-time tracking, predictive maintenance, and optimized routing for smarter, more efficient operations.
Indore continues its sustainability efforts by adopting electric vehicles for waste management, reinforcing its status as India’s cleanest city. SWITCH Mobility, a joint venture between Ashok Leyland and Optare, has deployed over 1,250 electric buses globally and launched its IeV Series in 2024, with more than 1,000 electric light commercial vehicles in use. Recognized with multiple industry awards, the company supports the growing global shift toward electric vehicles in municipal services, as cities seek to cut emissions from traditionally diesel-powered operations.
