Zero tailpipe emission is on a fast track for urban public transport, heralding the era of Electric Buses in India. Urban public transport buses have traditionally been powered by diesel engines, spewing enormous pollution from their tailpipes. Ramifications to ecology are obvious and India has started to change the situation by adopting Electric Buses for urban transport, in many progressive minded cities.
