EVOLVING INTERCITY TRAVEL

The world has been a witness to a lot of natural calamities in the last five years. Typhoon Hinnamnor, Mongolian Bushfires, Dust Storm in Iraq are only a few examples of a chain of natural disasters happening all over the world. Electric motors came before its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts but it was its internal combustion counterpart that took the lead in the 19th century due to lower cost of running as well as performance-related issues. However, the electric motors of the 21st century have a lower cost of running as well as better performance with less components and less wearable parts being used in the making.

Even though people are moving towards electric power, there is a hesitation regarding the electric motors due to the absence of infrastructure. Range anxiety has been the reason of deviation from the adoption of electric vehicles. The government is working towards reducing vehicular emissions. The biggest contributor in carbon emissions are commercial vehicles due to its rigorous use.  The government has instructed commercial vehicle owners and users to shift to electric power to reduce a certain level of emissions. DTC has also commissioned electric buses to run within the city limits for reducing the carbon emissions.
