Market Share of Europe Electric Bus Industry
The European electric bus market is growing and led by a few major players such as Solaris Bus & Coach, IVECO Bus, Traton Group, AB Volvo, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, etc. There are now some 800 electric-powered Solaris circulating in 72 cities, including Berlin (90), Milan (250), and Warsaw (130). 47% of the buses built by Solaris are powered by an alternative propulsion system.
In July 2021, MZK in Konin stated that it would be the first public transport operator in Poland to add a hydrogen bus to its fleet. Secured by Solaris Bus & Coach, the contract stipulates the four-year lease of a Urbino 12 hydrogen bus propelled with energy derived from hydrogen. The vehicle will be delivered to Konin in 2022.
VDL Bus&Coach started building a new, climate-neutral factory in Roeselare, Belgium, where the first bus commenced manufacturing at the beginning of 2022. The industrial buildings are designed in such a way that only electrically powered buses can be built in a climate-neutral and efficient manner.
