In its mission to promote sustainable transportation across India, NueGo—the country’s first organized electric intercity brand under GreenCell Mobility—flagged off the Southern leg of its iconic Kashmir to Kanyakumari (K2K) electric bus expedition today at its Bangalore Depot. The Bangalore flag-off ceremony was graced by Shri Jagadeesh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Nelamangala, Bangalore, along with other distinguished dignitaries like Mr. Manjunath, Commissioner, City Municipal Corporation, Mr. Ravikumar, Traffic Police Inspector, Nelamangala, Mr. K.M. Siddahonnappa, Fire Station Officer, Nelamangala, Mr. Murlidhar, Police Inspector, Madanayakanahalli
The K2K electric bus expedition, which commenced its journey from Kashmir, is now entering the southern phase. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and emitting zero tail-pipe emissions, this all-electric bus aims to set new records by covering over 4,000 kilometers through 11 states and union territories. The journey, which has already spanned approximately 3300 kilometers, highlights the feasibility of EVs for intercity travel across challenging terrains and weather conditions. Along the way, the bus will engage with the public in multiple cities, fostering discussions on sustainability.
This phase of the expedition follows previous flag-offs in other regions, including Nagpur, where Hon'ble Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India Sh. Nitin Gadkari inaugurated the western section, emphasizing the importance of EVs in India’s transport ecosystem.
