JBM Electric Vehicles company formed an agreement with Hitachi ZeroCarbon to install sophisticated battery management systems throughout their electric bus operation. The partnership represents a major step forward for India's e-mobility sector that supports the national strategy to use environment-friendly public transit solutions.
JBM's electric buses will integrate Hitachi ZeroCarbon's Battery Manager system under the terms of this collaboration. The system will deliver insights into charging patterns, route optimization, and asset usage—critical components in improving electric vehicle efficiency and reliability. The solution also offers advanced analytics to extend battery life and maximize residual value.
A division of JBM Auto Ltd, JBM EV runs the largest integrated electric bus manufacturing plant globally outside China, situated in Delhi-NCR, with an annual capacity of 20,000 buses. The company provides an extensive range of e-buses for urban, intercity, luxury, school, employee, and specialized transportation.
"This collaboration...will ensure critical parameters for enhancing our battery performance proactively for each customer under different climatic conditions and leading to highest residual value of the batteries. It will enable us to enhance the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the public transport operators and fleet owners for multiple applications across the world," said Nishant Arya, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, JBM Auto Ltd.
Hitachi executives emphasized India’s diverse weather and terrain as a perfect testing ground for electric mobility innovation, further strengthening the global relevance of this collaboration.
