JBM Electric Vehicles showcased four new electric buses at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. These include the all-new electric luxury coach named Galaxy, the intercity bus called Xpress, a low-floor electric medical mobile unit called e-MediLife and the 9-metre electric tarmac coach called e-SkyLife. The buses were unveiled by Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Jairam Gadkari alongside JBM Group Chairman S.K. Arya and others.

The company also showcased JBM E-Verse, an indigenously designed EV ecosystem. It encompasses in-house capabilities in fast charging infrastructure, efficient lithium-ion batteries, power infrastructure and a network that ensures zero downtime. The E-Verse demonstrates the company's commitment to providing end-to-end e-mobility solutions, designed in India for the world. The newly launched electric buses showcase cutting-edge technology, unmatched comfort and safety, and a steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability. In addition, these buses are designed to offer best-in-class total cost of ownership, providing customised solutions to meet diverse needs.

Currently, JBM has deployed over 1,800 electric buses across multiple geographies in India, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
