Today, fleets of electric busses have over shadowed the c conventional diesel busses adding a new experience in bus travel especially when it comes to long distance interstate travelling.
The name of NueGo needs no introduction in air-conditioned electric bus sector. Adding yet another feather in the cap of the Nuego, it flagged off Kashmir to Kanyakumari (E-K2K) electric bus expedition at the NueGo depot hub in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

These state-of-the-art busses would cover travel over 4000 kilometers across more than 200 towns and cities on the Kashmir to Kanyakumari route.
“The NueGo ambitious E-K2K journey will travel from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, demonstrating the resilience of electric busses across diverse terrains of India”, said Devendra Chawla MD & CEO, Green Cell Mobility.
“We have named the travel experience as E-K2K electric bus expedition simply because it’s not like regular travelling but the bus would stop at various places and would engage in activities like – student’s workshops, tree plantation, clean-up initiatives apart from enjoying cultural events and nukkad nataks (street plays),” said Devendra Chawla who maintained that the bus would complete the tour in the scheduled time of two-weeks.
