European Bus Data Report: A Changing Bus Market
Podcast guest Manuel Bosch and host Zackes Brustik discuss current registration figures, powertrain trends, and developments in city and coach buses.
How is the European bus market evolving? Which powertrains are on the rise, and which manufacturers are expanding their market share? In the latest episode of BUS2Talk, Manuel Bosch, Publishing Director at DVV Media Group and responsible for the European Bus Data Report, provides a data-driven look at the latest market developments.
More than 35,000 newly registered buses in Europe, 17 percent growth in city buses, and more than 20 percent growth in coach buses show just how much the market is changing. Electric mobility is developing particularly rapidly. Around 11,500 battery-electric buses were newly registered last year, compared with approximately 550 hydrogen-powered buses.
The conversation explores the differences between city, intercity, and coach buses, the transition to electric mobility across Europe, and the growing importance of Asian manufacturers. Manuel Bosch explains why Norway is leading the way in electric intercity and coach buses, how public tenders and government funding are shaping the market, and why charging infrastructure will be crucial for coach buses.
Tune in to find out where the European bus market stands today and where it is headed.
