AHMEDABAD: Mobility service provider Chartered Speed Ltd. (CSL) who had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GIFT City – flagged off a fleet of electric vehicles in GIFT City.
As a part of Phase 1, Chartered Speed launched four fully integrated EV Buses and twenty e-bikes services to address the demand of public transport for people commuting to and from GIFT City. The number of buses will increase to 50 over a period of 12-18 months.
The commuters can opt for convenient subscription options, can pre-book the seats in buses and find a bike for their travel route. These travel services will cover three destination points – 2 in Ahmedabad and 1 in Gandhinagar.
Tapan Ray, MD & Group CEO, GIFT City said, “As GIFT City continues to set benchmarks with its increasing global and national importance, sustainable development and innovation have become an integral part of GIFT’s progress. The commencement of its EV fleet by Chartered Speed has opened a new chapter in green mobility solutions. This will provide an easy, convenient and sustainable mode of transport for those commuting to GIFT City.”
Sanyam Gandhi, CEO & Director, Chartered Speed Ltd., said, “By the completion of all the phases, we will potentially reduce 7,000 vehicles from entering Gift City and reducing unnecessary traffic from Ahmedabad – Gandhinagar Highway.”
Chartered Speed will monitor, operate and maintain the fleet services end-to-end and the charging infrastructure will be developed across locations in GIFT City. On an average, a fleet of 10 buses and 50 e-bikes will save approximately 5.5 lakh litres of fuel while reducing carbon emissions to the tune of 1450 tonnes, annually.
