Underscoring the employment opportunity from the adoption of retrofitting in inter-city diesel passenger buses, a report said that it is projected to add 6000-7000 direct jobs and 36,000-42,000 new indirect jobs over the next few years. Converting current internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric ones is known as retrofitting and it entails swapping the original engine and associated parts for a new alternative energy source that will be installed inside the current vehicle body. The report jointly prepared by the Foundation for Economic Growth and Welfare (EGROW Foundation) in collaboration with Primus Partners added that if the country retrofits 20,000 buses annually, it can save about 500,000 tonne of diesel and reduce crude oil imports by 12.7 million barrels yearly.
