Switch Mobility, a subsidiary of the Ashok Leyland group, has announced intentions to invest £300 million in the UK and India to expand its electric buses and light commercial vehicles.
As part of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s current trade mission to India, UK and Indian firms have announced a total of £1 billion in new investments. Switch Mobility’s investment in the UK and India was lauded by Johnson.
During his tour to Delhi and Gujarat, he singled out Switch as an example of a company that is helping to boost bilateral commerce between the two countries.
With the company expecting to create over 4,000 skilled jobs in the UK and India as part of the investment, Johnson’s visit also coincided with the launch of Switch’s new 12m electric bus for India and the announcement of a new technical centre in the UK.
