NueGo launches electric sleeper buses for intercity travels

The buses are powered by a 450 kWh high-voltage battery system, offering a range of 350 kilometers per charge, which can be extended to 600 kilometers daily through fast charging.

GreenCell Mobility’s NueGo has introduced India’s first electric AC sleeper bus service for intercity routes, with operations set to cover key corridors like Delhi-Amritsar, Bangalore-Chennai, and Hyderabad-Rajahmundry. The buses are powered by a 450 kWh high-voltage battery system, offering a range of 350 kilometers per charge, which can be extended to 600 kilometers daily through fast charging.

Devendra Chawla, MD & CEO of GreenCell Mobility, emphasized that the launch marks a significant move toward sustainable travel, prioritizing safety, passenger comfort, and environmental responsibility.

The buses are constructed using India’s first monocoque chassis and are equipped with ergonomic berths, USB charging ports, night reading lamps, and modern sanitation facilities. Safety features include ABS brakes with ESC, full air suspension with ECAS, and a rollover-engineered structure.

NueGo has implemented security measures including CCTV surveillance, GPS tracking, driver breath analyzer tests, and speed limiting at 80 kilometers per hour. The company operates a 24-hour helpline for women travelers and offers a Pink Seat booking feature.

The service will operate on additional routes including Chennai-Madurai, Vijayawada-Vishakhapatnam, and Bangalore-Madurai. The buses utilize regenerative braking technology and produce zero tailpipe emissions.

GreenCell Mobility, through its NueGo brand, has positioned itself in India’s electric intercity transport sector. The company aims to expand its presence in the sleeper bus market segment while promoting sustainable travel options.

The introduction of electric sleeper buses adds to India’s growing electric vehicle infrastructure, particularly in the commercial transportation sector. This development aligns with national initiatives to reduce emissions in public transport.
