Delhi’s push for clean and green transport is now making waves outside India. On Thursday, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh met with a team from Norway to discuss how both sides are working on electric vehicle (EV) adoption. The meeting was about sharing ideas, policies, and practical models that can help cities move towards a cleaner future.
Norway is already seen as a leader in EV adoption. However, the Norwegian visitors found Delhi’s work worth noticing. They praised the Delhi Electric Vehicle Initiative (DEVI) buses, which are now part of the city’s public transport.
The visitors liked the 9-metre DEVI buses because they are being used for last-mile connectivity. In other words, these buses help people travel easily from the metro to their homes or workplaces. At the same time, Delhi is eager to learn from Norway’s long experience with charging stations, parking solutions, and EV-friendly public transport.
The DEVI buses are not just electric. They are also designed to be safe and inclusive. For example, they have CCTV cameras, GPS tracking, and panic buttons for emergencies. In addition, they come with low floors, motorised ramps, and retractable steps, making it easy for the elderly and people with disabilities to board.
Perhaps this focus on comfort and safety is what impressed the Norwegian team the most. It shows that Delhi is not only thinking about clean energy but also about people’s needs.
Both sides agreed that cooperation is the way forward. Delhi will send experts to Norway to learn more, while Norway wants to study how Delhi has managed to run electric buses in such a large city.
In the end, this meeting was more than just words. It was about real exchange, real buses, and real ideas for a greener tomorrow.
