Global Growth Opportunities in the Electric Transit Bus and Coach Industry, 2030

Are you seizing the growth opportunities emerging in the electric bus and coach domain, while capitalizing on a regulatory environment ripe for innovation and growth?

With the global electric bus fleet poised to exceed 160,000 units by 2030, boasting an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%, the possibilities are endless for established automakers, suppliers, and ambitious newcomers striving for long-term success.

Amid a regulatory environment prioritizing sustainability initiatives within the global bus and coach ecosystem, the shift towards an electric vehicle (EV)-focused fleet is rapidly gaining momentum. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are swiftly supplanting their traditional counterparts, while fuel-cell electric buses are steadily following suit. Moreover, initiatives like the European Union (EU) Clean Vehicle Directive are proving essential to the widespread adoption of electric buses. Meanwhile, countries like China are revealing promising avenues for growth and collaboration as they roll out subsidy reductions and introduce favorable incentives.
