"The electrification of bus transit is one essential milestone on the road to reach cities', regions', and countries' climate goals, improve air quality in urban areas and reduce noise pollution."
"If 95% of all buses produced since 2010 and still on the road today would be retrofitted, it would allow to achieve electrification 15 years earlier than in the replacement scenario."
"For the whole of Europe, this can save 300 million tons of CO2 emissions, more than the emissions of Spain in 2024."
Electrification of bus transit is vital for meeting climate goals, enhancing air quality, and reducing noise pollution. Current technological options are mature, and new bus registrations in Europe are rapidly increasing. However, over 95% of the existing bus fleet is still powered by fossil fuels, necessitating replacement to achieve emission-free transit. Retrofitting buses produced since 2010 could expedite electrification by 15 years, potentially saving 300 million tons of CO2 emissions across Europe, surpassing Spain's emissions in 2024.
