APSRTC to start Battery Operated Bus: Source : Eenadu
Really a very good and innovative decision to save Environment and APSRTC itself.
Really a very good and innovative decision to save Environment and APSRTC itself.
APSRTC has started a new revolution to reduce pollution and
expenses on hundreds of crores it spends on Diesel , It is going to introduce
battery operated buses on State High ways.
These Batteries could be charged not only by current but
also it uses solar power to get charged..Central Govt gave its approval for
this project and also it would help APSRTC
in executing the project by givinh subsidy in buying Solar Panels.
APSRTC officers are planning to implement this to ALL the
Buses .
APSRTC will install a Solar panel in every depot which is
operated by Solar Energy and does the charging task and these would be fitted
to the buses..Once recharged a bus would operate for nearly 200 Km as said by APSRTC M.D. Prasad Rao
As Solar Energy can be exclusively used to re-charge the battery not the current the expense
incurred would be very less compared to that spent on Diesel and also central govt is giving subsidy in buying
solar panels and setting up and also subsidy on
buying Battery operated buses which comes for 15 Lakhs..as said a new battery
bus comes for 15 Lakhs ..this is profitable for APSRTC in any dimension
And it would econoimical status of APSRTC toan high extent .
APSRTC is planning to run Battery operated bus in each and
every depot first and then planning to implement on different routes.
Hope this project kicks off nicely and earn some good
results which would be benficary for Environment and APSRTC…
