Over the past few decades, the company has consistently demonstrated a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of commercial transportation, both in India and globally. From introducing alternative fuel vehicles to driving innovation in clean energy technologies, Ashok Leyland's journey reflects its dedication to a sustainable future for the automotive and logistics sectors.

Green Mobility Milestones: Leading The Charge In Sustainable Transport

Ashok Leyland has been at the forefront of adopting alternative fuels since the 1990s, making strides in both technology and environmental responsibility. The company's innovative approach began with the introduction of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses in India's urban fleets, particularly in major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, where pollution was reaching critical levels. By partnering with government transport undertakings and international collaborators, Ashok Leyland played a crucial role in developing CNG-compatible powertrains and fuel systems, laying the groundwork for its future clean fuel initiatives.

Building on its early success with CNG, Ashok Leyland expanded its portfolio by venturing into Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vehicles, particularly heavy-duty trucks, which offered improved logistical and efficiency benefits. The company's commitment to alternative fuels continued into the 2010s, with the launch of electric buses showcased at events like the Auto Expo. These electric buses were designed to provide last-mile connectivity with zero tailpipe emissions, making them a cleaner alternative for public transport. With the introduction of the Switch EiV series under Switch Mobility, Ashok Leyland set a new benchmark in electric mobility.
