Electric Mid- And Large (9-14m) Bus Global Market Report 2024

Electric mid- and large (9-14m) buses are buses powered by electricity and range in length from 9 to 14 meters. These vehicles offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel or gasoline-powered buses. They are increasingly adopted by cities and transit authorities globally to promote sustainable urban mobility and reduce the environmental impact of public transportation systems.

The main propulsion systems for electric mid- and large (9-14m) buses include fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), diesel, gasoline, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in electric vehicles (PEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and lithium iron phosphate (LFP). Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) utilize hydrogen to generate electricity for powering the vehicle's electric motor. These buses are available with seating configurations catering to capacities above 70 seats as well as below 70 seats, and they are equipped with autonomous, manual, and semi-autonomous driving modes. They serve various purposes such as coaches, city or transit buses, school buses, and midi buses, catering to both private and public sector users.

The electric mid- and Large (9-14m) bus market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.66 billion in 2023 to $8.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental concerns and regulations, government policies and incentives promoting sustainable practices, urbanization trends, and rising demand for public transportation services.

The electric mid- and Large (9-14m) bus market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to improvements in electric drivetrain efficiency, strong government support and incentives, efforts to mitigate climate change, increasing public demand for clean transportation options, and advancements in autonomous technology. Major trends expected during this period include breakthroughs in battery technology, integration of smart features into vehicles, and the expansion of charging infrastructure to support electric vehicles.

The electric mid- and large (9-14m) bus market is poised for growth due to increasing demand for public transportation. Public transportation, including buses operating on fixed routes and schedules, is gaining popularity driven by demographic shifts, environmental concerns, economic factors, technological advancements, and evolving societal attitudes. Mid- and large-sized buses play a critical role in enhancing the capacity, efficiency, and sustainability of public transport systems. These buses can accommodate large numbers of passengers and leverage modern electric bus technologies, making them essential for meeting the rising demand for urban and suburban transit services. For example, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority reported an increase in bus ridership from 71.4 million rides in 2021 to 82.6 million rides in 2022, and subway ridership rose from 75.9 million to 1.01 billion rides during the same period. Hence, the growing demand for public transportation is driving the expansion of the electric mid- and large (9-14m) bus market.

Leading companies in this market are focused on innovating products such as hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to provide zero-emission alternatives to battery-electric buses. FCEVs utilize hydrogen as fuel, converting it into electricity through a chemical reaction in the fuel cell. For instance, Iveco Group N.V. and Hyundai Motor Company launched the IVECO BUS E-WAY H2 in October 2023, a 12-meter hydrogen-powered fuel cell low-floor city bus. This bus features a hybrid-mid power concept that optimizes charging for the onboard battery pack and fuel cell system, maximizing efficiency and durability. Equipped with a 310-kW electric motor, advanced fuel cell technology, and four hydrogen tanks holding 7.8 kg of hydrogen, along with a 69 kWh battery pack, the E-WAY H2 achieves a range of 450 km under typical operating conditions.

In July 2023, Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs GmbH, a German public transport company, purchased 25 electric buses from Ebusco to enhance its sustainable mobility efforts. These 12-meter Ebusco 2.2 model buses will be deployed in the Baden-Württemberg region, expected to cover approximately 60,000 km annually. Ebusco, based in the Netherlands, specializes in manufacturing electric buses, contributing to the advancement of eco-friendly transit solutions.
