  • EVs run on clean energy, not fossil fuels, making every ride a step away from oil dependency. That’s how we don’t just move people, we move towards a greener planet.

    CO₂ Reduced, Trees Saved and Reduced Reliance on Fossil Fuels India is the third-largest importer of crude oil globally and nearly 98% of the fuel requirement in the road transportation sector is currently met by fossil fuels. (source- https://lnkd.in/gE9_gsP2) Which translates to- every time we choose cleaner mobility, we’re not just protecting the planet,  we’re also protecting our economy. With intercity, intracity and freight transport consuming a major chunk of fuel, clean and scalable alternatives are still rare and infrequent.We are a country striving for cleaner air and lower fuel imports, EVs can reduce the reliance on imported crude oil to a large extent. This shift in energy consumption is not a luxury but a national need. At Fresh Bus, we’ve always believed sustainability must be more than a tagline. It must show up in impact. 🟢 Over 26.5 lakh liters of fuel saved 🟢 Over 27,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions reduced 🟢 Equivalent of 4.48 lakhs trees saved These aren’t just numbers. They’re a glimpse into what’s possible when technology meets purpose. 🔵 Cleaner air 🔵 Less oil dependency 🔵 Quieter highways The future isn’t fossil-fueled. It’s electric!

    The EV Startups Powering a Greener India This ia a collective heartbeat of engineers, dreamers, and doers who believe that progress doesn't have to pollute. 💚Why It Matters Every time a child walks to school through a fog of exhaust fumes...

    🔵Building Fresh Bus: One Thoughtful Change at a Time   In the world of mobility, metrics like on-time performance and customer satisfaction are reflection of the trust our passengers place in us. At Fresh Bus, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. 🔵The Mid-Stop Experiment: Rethinking Comfort & Convenience A long journey isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about the experience in between. For most, a restroom or meal break during a journey is an afterthought. But for us, it was an opportunity. We turned them into moments of comfort. Instead of just picking random stops, we did something different: ✅Hygiene-first approach – Every halt is vetted for cleanliness. ✅Hot meals, served right – We partnered with hotels & restaurants, keeping them updated on our bus ETA so customers are always served fresh, hot food upon arrival. 🔵Impeccable Upkeep: More Than Just Clean Buses A clean and well-maintained bus isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. To elevate the onboard experience, we introduced captains on every bus—trained to ensure customer needs are met proactively. Their training isn’t just operational; it extends to soft skills, problem-solving, and anticipating challenges before they arise. Monthly training sessions with our engineering, operations, and compliance teams equip them to handle real-time issues, ensuring a smoother journey for our passengers. 🔵Why Communication Matters ✅98% of calls are answered within 30 seconds – because no one likes waiting when they need help. ✅Complaint rate of just 1.6 per 100 customers – a testament to our relentless focus on quality. ✅Recently introduced 24/7 Women’s helpline to ensure a safer travel experience and ensure grievances are attended in real time by providing dedicated support for any concerns or assistance. 🔵Punctuality: The Fresh Bus Promise ✅Being on time, every time, isn’t luck—it’s predicting well, communicating well, and resolving well. Our full-stack model (with no third-party involvement) gives us complete control over every touchpoint, ensuring seamless efficiency and top-tier service. #FreshBus #CustomerExperience
