With the success of the Volvo City Buses in Bangalore, Volvo is preparing to have a greater focus on providing urban mobility solutions to various cities of India, besides enhancing its presence and solutions for Bangalore city. At the Urban Mobility Exhibition & Seminar held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi during December 3-5, Volvo exhibited what it takes to be a complete partner to a city’s ambition of building an efficient Urban Mobility Solution.
The Volvo buses in Bangalore play a defined role. They are specifically positioned as buses that motivate people to move away from their personal vehicles and adopt public transport. A recent survey shows that majority of the passengers are those who would have chosen their own vehicles if not for Volvo City buses. This is because these buses provide comfort, safety and convenience that often surpass the option of driving your own vehicle. And the profound and potential savings in terms of fuel burnt, emissions, safety and peace of mind outdo that of personal transport. Already highly popular, these buses continue to gain in popularity with every addition in connectivity.
The Volvo motto is not only to satisfy customer demands but also to exceed their expectations, as per its core values. By being a part of the ‘Urban Mobility India’ exhibition Volvo India demonstrated its expertise as a brand synonym with urban city transport. The Volvo stall had a theatre with audio visual clips on Volvo buses, India brand, the safety measures undertaken and also the Volvo India initiative on going green.
At the exhibition Volvo Buses highlighted the importance of total partnership when coming to providing solutions for Urban Mobility. For a highly involved project such as this, which aims to change people’s behaviour and mobility options the vision has to be long and the spirit lies in collaboration. At Volvo this means understanding the needs of the system and defining the right solution and delivering the right solution, which means a bus whose beauty lies in the experience it offers its passengers, and finally lies the ability of an organization to continue supporting the solutions so that they perform as planned or even better.
Said Mr. Akash Passey, Managing Director, Volvo Buses India Pvt. Ltd., “we are very pleased to be a part of this exhibition. It is a very good platform for us to display our proficiency itself as a brand that builds and provides public transport solutions across the world and also supports the performance of our solutions as a complete partner”.
