The number of electric buses in Western Europe is skyrocketing. In the past year, more E-buses were registered than between the years 2012 and 2018 combined. This was the outcome of a study by Chatrou CME Solutions.<\/p>\n

Almost 12% of the (city) buses registered in 2019 are powered electrically. In the previous year, the number was only 548. This means that the amount of registrations has tripled within a single year. This corresponds to 1687 E-buses out of a total market of 14,392 city buses.<\/p>\n

Alternative propulsion systems<\/h3>\n

Yet it was not just the E-bus segment that grew in 2019. The proportion of buses with alternative propulsion systems also soared. E-buses, hybrid buses, CNG (compressed natural gas) and fuel cell powered city buses now have a combined market share of 39%. This figure was 28% in the previous year.<\/p>\n

Ranking of alternatively powered city buses 2019:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. E-buses (+300%)<\/li>\n
  2. Hybrid buses – including moderate hybrids (+70%);<\/li>\n
  3. CNG buses (+20%);<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The total number of 14,392 city buses that were registered in 2019 also set a new record. Registrations rose by 20%. Slightly less than 12,000 new city buses were registered in 2018.<\/p>\n

    Dutch VDL – market leader in E-buses<\/h3>\n

    Dutch manufacturer VDL<\/a> became the market leader at the end of 2019 with a total of 386 registered electric buses and a market share of 22.5 %. In total, 232 vehicles were registered on the domestic market alone, the most important market in Europe. Between 2012 and 2019 a total of 726 E-buses made their way onto the roads in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n

    Chinese manufacturer BYD<\/a> is in second place, having registered 236 E-buses in 2019. BYD produced a further 79 E-buses for the British market in cooperation with Scottish bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL<\/a>). In third place is the Polish manufacturer Solaris<\/a> with a total of 145 registrations. Swedish manufacturer Volvo<\/a> is in fourth place with 135 registrations.<\/p>\n
