Europe Electric Bus Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Europe Electric Bus Market is estimated to reach USD 6.05 billion by 2033 with a CAGR 14.85%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Europe Electric Bus Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis. An e-bus, commonly referred to as an electric bus, runs solely on electricity. It is an eco-friendly and sustainable kind of public transportation. It runs on fossil fuels and is powered by electric motors and batteries. These buses have zero tailpipe emissions, which improves the quality of the air and lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It improves the ride quality for passengers by being quieter and smoother. Electric bus adoption is consistent with the movement toward greener modes of transportation and a decrease in urban pollution.
- Van Hool unveiled the A-Series, a new line of zero-emission public buses, during the European Mobility Expo in Paris in June 2022. Fuel cell (hydrogen) and battery-electric drivetrain alternatives will be available for the A-series of zero-emission buses. In addition, there will be four distinct lengths (12, 13, 18, and 24 meters), with two to five passenger doors in each.
- At BUS2BUS in Berlin in April 2022, Switch Mobility unveiled their latest electric bus, the Metrocity. At the European Mobility Expo in Paris later in June 2022, the business unveiled its new 12-meter bus.
- The NFI Group Inc. (NFI) subsidiary Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) declared in August 2021 that it had been chosen as a supplier for 20 zero-emission hydrogen double-deck buses by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as a result of a competitive tendering procedure.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: The demand for Electric Buses (EB) in Europe is being driven by several factors, including strict pollution restrictions, a heavy reliance on non-renewable or conventional fuels, strong environmental ethics, and the increasing necessity of integrating renewable energy sources into a network. The development of the market is also significantly influenced by the penetration of the charging infrastructure. Furthermore, European city e-bus markets are primarily driven by a combination of growing customer demand for e-bus and environmental concerns. Large cities and "green countries" in Europe are implementing electric buses in the mainly static bus market as a means of addressing the pressing problem of air and noise pollution and keeping their promises to protect citizens from environmental hazards.
Challenges: The initial expense of electric buses in comparison to their conventional counterparts is a major barrier. Although switching to electric buses might result in long-term cost savings and environmental benefits, some communities and transportation agencies may be discouraged by the initial expenditure needed. Furthermore, there are financial and logistical obstacles associated with the infrastructure required to operate a sizable fleet of electric buses, such as grid modifications and charging stations.
Market Competitive Landscape
AB Volvo, Solaris Bus & Coach, IVECO Bus, Traton Group, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, and other large companies are leading the expanding European electric bus market. There are currently about 800 electric-powered Solaris in use in 72 cities, including 130 in Warsaw, 90 in Berlin, and 250 in Milan. An alternate propulsion system powers 47% of the buses manufactured by Solaris.

COVID-19 Impact on Europe Electric Bus Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought up a number of difficulties and opportunities for the European electric bus sector. On the one hand, the pandemic caused supply chain disruptions, which resulted in production and delivery delays for electric buses and associated parts. This put a stop to many transit agencies' and towns' plans for growth as they considered switching to electric fleets or were in the midst of doing so. Furthermore, the pandemic's financial impact resulted in budgetary restrictions for public transportation agencies, which might have slowed down investment in the infrastructure and acquisition of electric buses.
