Visakhapatnam, May 8 (UNI) FlixBus India today said it has partnered with Green Drive Mobility to launch electric intercity bus services between Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, marking a major step towards electrification of long-distance bus travel in India.
The companies announced that four electric buses would be introduced in the first phase on the Vijayawada–Visakhapatnam corridor, one of Andhra Pradesh’s busiest intercity travel routes.
According to the companies, the initiative aims to provide passengers with a comfortable and technology-enabled travel experience while improving environmental sustainability compared to conventional diesel-operated coaches.

Speaking on the partnership, Harikrishna, Founder and CEO, Green Drive Mobility, said the initiative represented a significant milestone in expanding electric intercity mobility in India.
“Deploying EV buses on the Vijayawada–Vizag corridor allows us to provide a sustainable travel option while reducing carbon emissions and enhancing passenger comfort,” he said.

He said the partnership with Green Drive Mobility would help improve access to reliable, affordable and cleaner intercity travel while supporting the Government of India’s transport electrification goals.
The Vijayawada–Visakhapatnam corridor connects two major economic and cultural hubs of Andhra Pradesh and witnesses strong passenger demand throughout the year.
