No fumes. No compromise. Just smarter, cleaner rides for thousands of employees each day
In a groundbreaking move toward greener urban mobility, Routematic and Infosys have launched Pune’s first fully diesel- and-petrol-free corporate transport fleet powered solely by CNG and electric vehicles (EVs). It’s a quiet revolution reshaping how India’s tech cities define sustainability.
🚗 Why This Moment Matters
Traffic, congestion, air pollution Pune faces them all. According to the World Air Quality Report 2024, 13 of the world’s 20 most polluted cities are in India, and Pune was ranked among the top 5 most congested cities globally by TomTom Traffic Index.
Against this backdrop, Routematic’s new fleet offers a solution—not just tech, but tangible change. Thousands of corporate commuters can now ride cleaner, breathe easier, and reduce India’s carbon burden—all while managing efficient shared transport.

What It Means for Employees and Employers
- Better air, better commute: Daily travel without diesel fumes means improved wellbeing and morale.
