E-bus sales grew 35 percent in the first half of 2024, ICCT states (but their share is decreasing)
Briefly

Sales of zero emission buses and coaches in Europe increased by 35% in the first half of 2024. Yet, overall market share dropped from 16% to 15%, indicating a paradoxical trend. Continued growth in sales volumes contrasts with a declining market share, which suggests both market expansion and intensified competition. This highlights the complex dynamics within the zero-emission vehicle sector as it evolves and matures.
The European e-bus market experienced significant growth, with registrations reaching 6,354 in 2023, resulting in over 42% of city buses now being zero-emission. This represents a drastic increase from just 15% in 2020. It underscores how swiftly the market is adapting to cleaner technologies. Furthermore, battery electric buses have become a dominant player, with 40% of city bus sales in the second quarter of 2024 being battery electric, showing a notable shift towards sustainability.
