Will Electric Buses Need More Durable Components? - Busline News
Briefly

Electric buses are becoming prominent in public transport, with numbers increasing dramatically from 971 to over 5,000 operational school buses between 2022 and 2024. E-buses are expected to comprise 83 percent of global sales by 2040. They typically last twice as long as diesel buses, with models like Alexander Dennis's Enviro400EV achieving up to 20 years of service. This durability stems from fewer moving parts, resulting in reduced maintenance needs. However, e-bus components must be as durable as the bus lifespan to avoid bottlenecks in upkeep, as they wear differently than diesel bus components.
Electric buses are expected to have lifespans twice as long as diesel buses, with some models capable of lasting up to 20 years with minimal maintenance.
Durability is essential for e-bus components, which must last the vehicle's full lifetime to prevent maintenance issues, as they experience different wear compared to diesel parts.
