Sanskaram Strengthens School Transport Safety with Eicher Buses 

Sanskaram group prioritises safety, reliability, and comfort in student transportation. Through disciplined maintenance practices and a strong partnership with Eicher, the group ensures buses run smoothly, students travel safely, and parents have peace of mind.

Maintenance Discipline and Service Support

A key factor in Sanskaram’s confidence in Eicher is its robust service support. The group runs an in-house workshop for routine checks, staffed with trained personnel and equipped with essential tools. Every morning, Mr. Somvir personally inspects vehicles for tyre pressure, mechanical issues, and overall safety readiness before buses begin their routes.

“Only after I am satisfied does the vehicle go on the road,” he says. Eicher complements this system with regular technician visits, ensuring rapid resolution of issues and minimal breakdowns. Even during challenging transitions like BS IV to BS VI compliance, parts availability has remained consistent.

Mr. Somvir notes, “Downtime is almost nil. Our buses run on time, and that punctuality gives peace of mind to parents and to us.”

Technology, Comfort, and Fuel Efficiency

Comfort and safety go hand in hand in daily school commutes. Eicher buses feature wider seats, stable suspension, and predictable braking, allowing students to travel calmly even on uneven rural roads.

Fuel efficiency remains the largest operating cost, followed by tyres and suspension maintenance. Eicher’s eco and power driving modes optimize mileage based on load and route conditions, keeping running costs under control.

Looking ahead, Sanskaram is exploring electric school bus options. The group has evaluated Eicher-Volvo electric models and plans to adopt them when policy support and subsidies make them economically viable.

“If electric buses become viable for schools, we would like to be among the first adopters,” Mr. Somvir says. “Our goal is not just growth, but responsible growth.”

Future Outlook for Sanskaram Transport

As Sanskaram plans to expand student admissions across its schools and university over the next five years, transportation remains a critical backbone of growth. Partnering with Eicher provides the reliability required to scale safely and efficiently.

“At the end of the day, if children reach home safely and on time, parents are at peace,” reflects Mr. Somvir. “That peace of mind is the biggest achievement for us, and Eicher has played a big role in helping us achieve it.”
