Switch Mobility, the electric vehicle arm of Ashok Leyland, has lined up investments of about £300 million across the UK and India to develop its range of electric buses and light commercial vehicles.
On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson praised Switch Mobility and its investment in the UK and India during his trade visit to India. As part of his visit to Delhi and Gujarat, Johnson took the opportunity to highlight Switch as an example of a business strengthening bilateral trade between the countries. The UK and Indian businesses confirmed more than £1 billion in new investments.
“We are delighted that the Prime Minister has commended the investment Switch is making to become a leader in electric transportation as an example of the benefits of UK-India collaboration.
