Lanka Ashok Leyland Plc, a joint venture with Ashok Leyland of India, said it is planning to launch a range of electric buses.
An electric variant of its DOST truck model has already been made available.
“Plans are also underway to launch an entire range of electric buses under the ‘SWITCH’ brand, subject to regulatory and market readiness,” Chief Executive Officer Umesh Gautam said.
“The government’s growing focus on public sector electrification is expected to create favourable conditions for this initiative.”
Sales of trucks have already picked up, the firm said.
