Abstract:

Under SMART-SUT project, GIZ has concluded a National level study on “Training Needs Assessment (TNA) for Electric Buses in India”. Under SMART-SUT project, GIZ has concluded a National level study on “Training Needs Assessment (TNA) for Electric Buses in India”. The study focuses on Training Needs Assessment (TNA), related to e-Buses, in PTAs and development of skill upgradation and additional mechanisms. The outcomes of this study are presented in three volumes as stated below:

1. Volume I identifies clear training needs in PTAs across e-Bus life cycle functions, various departments, and hierarchies.
2. Volume II presents detailed training modules coverage, their delivery mechanisms and national level institutional structure for sustainability and adoption.
3. Volume III reviews the existing organisational structure of large State Transport Undertakings (STUs) and city level Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).

In addition, the study proposes changes in the organogram and recommends upskilling required at different staff levels for transition from Internal Combustion Engine buses to Electric buses.
