JBM Electric Vehicles Unveils ECOLIFE e12 City Bus at Busworld 2025
JBM Electric Vehicles has set a new benchmark for urban e-mobility with the debut of its ECOLIFE e12 all-electric city bus at Busworld 2025. This latest launch reflects the growing momentum in sustainable public transportation as cities worldwide seek modern, low-emission solutions.
An Unveiling Aligned with Global Urban Needs
At the heart of the ECOLIFE e12 is JBM’s vision for green, efficient, and safe city transit. The new model features a lightweight stainless steel monocoque body to combat urban wear and tear while ensuring operational efficiency. Setting it apart from conventional options, the e12 is engineered for a cleaner footprint and lower running costs over its lifecycle.
JBM designed the ECOLIFE e12 for metropolitan routes, drawing on both its legacy and feedback from global fleet operators. Every detail—from energy management to real-time diagnostic systems—reflects this customer-driven approach. Passenger and driver safety, too, are fully addressed with modern telematics and industry-leading safety systems.
Standout Features and Technology
The ECOLIFE e12 is not just another electric bus. At its core are several critical advancements:
- Real-world range of up to 400 kilometers per charge, ideal for intensive city use.
- Advanced lithium-ion modular batteries for flexible operation and rapid charging.
- Suite of safety features, including ADAS, 360-degree cameras, collision alerts, and driver fatigue monitoring.
These attributes ensure the bus stands up to the rigorous demands of daily urban deployment.
E-Verse Platform: Building an End-to-End Ecosystem
The launch didn’t stop at hardware. At Busworld, JBM also introduced the E-Verse platform—its holistic ecosystem for large-scale EV fleet adoption. E-Verse addresses key barriers for operators by integrating:
- Robust, ultra-fast charging infrastructure.
- Efficient, high-performance battery solutions.
- A unified digital service network for monitoring and managing entire fleets.
This unified approach allows city transit agencies to scale up quickly, minimize downtime, and move toward mass electrification without compromise.
A Global and Local Commitment
With the ECOLIFE e12, JBM is reinforcing its status as an international innovator. The brand, which recently expanded its European operations, aims to bridge the gap between Indian manufacturing prowess and world-class quality:
- Annual production capacity of up to 20,000 buses at their Indian facility.
- Over 11,000 e-buses deployed globally, reflecting real on-road maturity.
Each new electric bus further cements JBM’s policy of combining global vision with strong local roots.
Conclusion: Urban Mobility’s Next Chapter
JBM Electric Vehicles’ ECOLIFE e12 is more than a product—it’s a signal of things to come in public transport. Its combination of safety, performance, service infrastructure, and strategic vision makes it a key contender for the future of city mobility. As transit authorities double down on eco-friendly infrastructure, models like the ECOLIFE e12 point to a greener, smarter era for commuters everywhere.
