With a strong order bank of nearly 600 buses and ambitious investment plans already in place, we believe we are well placed to capitalise on this growth. The new 12m bus has been designed specifically taking into account the requirements of the Indian market and delivering a range of up to 300 kms."As part of the company's investment into the UK, Switch's new Technical Centre will be the focal point of its Global Research and Development team.
