Ahmedabad Airport introduces free eco-friendly electric shuttle service

In a recent update, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad has introduced a free electric shuttle bus service, aimed at improving convenience for passengers while promoting eco-friendly travel.

This service is designed to offer both comfort and safety, with spacious 2x2 seating that ensures ample legroom for passengers. 

The buses are equipped with automatic ramps to accommodate all passengers, including those with special needs, and feature pneumatic dual doors with a finger protection system for safe and easy boarding.

Passenger comfort is prioritized with air-conditioned shuttles, which also feature an advanced air sanitising and bacterial filtration system to maintain a clean environment.

Digital clocks inside the buses display the current time, adding convenience for travelers, while 24-inch screens and a premium sound system provide entertainment and information during the journey.

Free Wi-Fi connectivity ensures passengers can stay connected throughout their ride.

The electric shuttles operate every 30 minutes throughout the week, connecting Terminals 1 and 2. However, the service pauses between 11 pm and 3 am.

This new initiative is a part of the airport's commitment to enhancing sustainability and passenger experience.

The shuttles are equipped with safety features such as CCTV cameras, GPS trackers, an emergency panic button, and a medical kit, ensuring a secure and safe travel experience for all passengers.

The introduction of electric shuttles is a significant step toward reducing the airport’s carbon footprint.

The switch to electric vehicles is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 tonnes of CO2 annually and save around 7,500 litres of fossil fuels each year, making a meaningful contribution to environmental sustainability.
