The Bus Insider August 2026 Issue Is Here

We’re back with the August issue of The Bus Insider — capturing an industry in the middle of a significant transformation.

In this issue, we bring you extensive coverage of Prawaas 5.0, which brought together the passenger mobility ecosystem with new product launches, emerging technologies and conversations around the future of transportation.

Our cover story features Sutlej Motors, marking 50 years under the Sutlej brand. We look at the company’s journey from traditional craftsmanship to engineering-led coach building, and how it continues to evolve with changing safety standards, technology and passenger expectations.

We also take a deeper look at the challenges holding back intercity electric buses, examining the realities around charging infrastructure, financing, operational flexibility and the economics of long-distance electric mobility.

Technology takes centre stage too, with AirFi showcasing how AI, connected technology and fleet intelligence are moving beyond passenger convenience to address driver safety, operational visibility and preventive risk management.
