The Switch EiV 12 is a 12 metre electric low-floor city bus that Switch Mobility builds for the Indian market. It was first launched in 2022 and presented again in an updated form in March 2025 alongside the European Switch e1. The low-floor version measures 12,000 mm long, 2,550 mm wide and 3,500 mm high on a 6,320 mm wheelbase, and seats 39 passengers plus a driver and a wheelchair space, with room for up to 63 standees and 102 passengers in all. A permanent magnet synchronous AC motor delivers 235 kW at its maximum and 140 kW continuously, and the battery capacity can be specified from 180 kWh to more than 400 kWh, giving a quoted range of 314 km with CCS-2 fast charging in under two hours. Switch describes it as India's first low-floor city bus with chassis-mounted batteries, on an indigenously designed platform, and it reportedly drew orders for about 1,800 units from cities such as Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai.
