Latest Growth Opportunities to Win in the Electric Buses Industry
The transit and coach bus industry is evolving as electrification gains momentum. Automakers and suppliers are competing fiercely to capture this expanding segment. Targeted regulations, including the EU Clean Vehicles Directive, are expected to boost electric bus adoption, particularly in national public transport procurement.
In China, battery electric (BEV) buses are expected to experience strong growth with the introduction of the 2025 New Energy City Bus and Power Battery Renewal Subsidy Implementation Rules.
On the other hand, India's bus segment is growing significantly as the public transport demand surges across intercity and intracity routes. State transport undertakings are launching large-scale procurement programs to replace aging fleets. Private transport operators are also modernizing their fleets to meet rising passenger volumes.

Global transit and coach bus sales are estimated to reach 266,700 units by the end of 2025.
