United Kingdom electric bus market is expected to grow
at a CAGR of around 46% during the forecast period on account of growing need
for controlling GHG (Greenhouse gases) emissions emitted by vehicles and growing
government initiatives. An
electric bus is powered by electricity and uses electric motors or traction
motors for propulsion. An electric bus can be powered either by electricity
from off bus sources or with a self-contained battery or a generator which
converts fuel to electricity.
The major factors responsible for the
rising sales of electric buses include improved miles on a single charge,
reduction in charging time, increasing number of charging stations across all
the regions, among others. Additionally, the development of integrated mobility
solutions and increasing public transport are further propelling growth in the
market. Furthermore, rising government support coupled with growing awareness
among population would steer growth in the market in the coming years.
The United Kingdom electric bus market
is segmented based on seating type, battery type, application, bus length, region
and company. Based on battery type, the market can be bifurcated
into lead acid and lithium ion, of which the latter is expected to grow at a
fast pace since it is safe and cost-effective. Based on bus length, the
market can be fragmented into 6-8m, 9-12m and above 12m. The 9-12m segment is
anticipated to dominate the market owing to the preference for medium and large
buses by the public transport authority.
