NueGo has installed Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on all 275 of its electric buses. Since its establishment in 2022, the company has used this safety technology, putting it ahead of expected government regulations requiring heavy commercial vehicles to have such systems.
Through the application of sensors, cameras, and radar to automatically track road conditions, ADAS technology provides users with features such as autonomous emergency braking, lane deviation warning, and collision warning. Individual technologies such as Electronic Stability Control, Driver Drowsiness Detection, and Automated Emergency Braking are all incorporated into NueGo.
NueGo has taken various measures besides ADAS technology, such as offering real-time GPS tracking, AI driver monitoring, forcing drivers to undergo breathalyzer tests before each ride, allocating seats for female riders, and offering 24/7 monitoring with high-definition CCTV cameras on each bus.
Besides, the company also has a women’s helpline, a 24/7 command control center, and clean mid-trip rest stops to monitor in real time.
Currently, NueGo’s electric bus service connects over 100 Indian cities. The buses undergo 25 safety checks, including mechanical and electrical checks, before each trip and are able to travel over 250 kilometers on a single charge.
Implementation of advanced safety technologies is concurrent with India’s persistent road safety concerns in the transport sector. Official statistics indicate that India has a high rate of traffic accidents worldwide and that the majority of them involve commercial transport.
