Electric Buses Now Take Most City Bus Orders in Europe and China, and India Is Next
Battery and fuel cell buses delivered worldwide were worth USD 27.35 Billion in 2025, and Radial Insights projects the global electric bus market at USD 30.47 Billion in 2026 and USD 80.65 Billion by 2035, growing at an 11.42% CAGR. That 2025 base of USD 27.35 Billion reflects the factory value of new vehicles sold to operators.
The electric bus market in this report covers new battery electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell electric buses above 8 tonnes used for city transit, intercity and coach service, school transport and airport shuttles. Values are counted at the point of sale to transit agencies, private operators and leasing firms. We exclude charging infrastructure, depot energy contracts, after-sales service, used buses and conversions of diesel buses to electric drive.
Adoption has passed the tipping point in two of the three largest markets. The IEA counted more than 70,000 electric bus sales worldwide in 2024, up about 30%, with electric models making up about 60% of China's bus sales. Europe registered 11,607 electric buses in 2025, up 48%, and zero-emission models took 60% of the EU city bus market. In the first half of 2026 European registrations rose another 49% to 8,141 units.
Fuel cell electric buses form the fastest-growing propulsion segment at a 16.45% CAGR, from a small base in Germany, Korea and China. By application, intercity and coach buses grow fastest at 15.62% as longer-range packs reach the market.
Asia Pacific (APAC) remains the dominant region with 63.80% of 2025 value, led by China and India, while Africa is the fastest-growing region at a 15.60% CAGR from a very small base.

Propulsion: battery electric dominates, fuel cells grow fastest
Battery electric buses account for the large majority of units because battery prices have fallen and most city routes run under 250 km a day. Their 11.68% CAGR tracks city fleet renewal in China, Europe and India. Fuel cell electric buses grow at 16.45% as operators in Germany, Korea and parts of China use hydrogen for long or hilly routes; Germany alone runs more than 600 hydrogen buses in 2026. Plug-in hybrids grow at only 6.24% because most tenders now require zero tailpipe emissions.
Bus length: articulated buses grow fastest
Buses above 14 m grow at 12.87% as high-capacity corridors in Europe and Latin America electrify their articulated fleets. Standard 9 m to 14 m buses grow at 11.21% and remain the core of every city tender. Midibuses below 9 m grow at 10.32%.
Application: coaches and school buses outpace city transit
Intercity and coach buses grow at 15.62%, the fastest application, as makers such as Solaris plan intercity zero-emission models for 2027 and Chinese suppliers launch long-range coaches. School buses grow at 13.18% in North America, where school buses make up about half of the U.S. electric bus stock. Intracity transit grows at 10.84%, and airport and shuttle buses grow at 9.47%.
Battery chemistry: LFP wins on cost and safety
Lithium iron phosphate packs grow at 12.06% because they are cheaper, last longer and carry lower fire risk, which matters for transit agencies. NMC packs grow at 9.14%, kept in demand by operators that need more range per kilogram. Lithium titanate and other chemistries grow at 7.35%.
Charging method: inductive and pantograph gain on depot charging
Inductive charging grows at 14.28% from pilot projects, and opportunity pantograph charging grows at 12.74% on high-frequency routes. Depot plug-in charging grows at 10.96% and stays the default for most fleets.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Chinese makers lead in Europe
Yutong was Europe's top electric bus brand in 2025 with 1,801 registrations, a 15.5% share, ahead of MAN at 1,409 and Daimler Buses at 1,395. BYD more than tripled its European volume to 1,305 units. Yutong held first place again in the first half of 2026 with 1,636 units, followed by Iveco and Heuliez with 1,156.
India moves to large aggregated tenders
CESL concluded India's largest electric bus tender in December 2025, covering 10,900 buses under the PM E-Drive scheme for Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Surat. Cities pay operators a fixed fee per kilometer, a gross cost contract model that shifts battery and maintenance risk to bus makers and operators.
Zero-emission becomes the default city bus
Battery electric city buses reached 61.2% of European city bus registrations in the first half of 2026, up from 57.9% a year earlier. BloombergNEF said in June 2026 that more than half of municipal bus sales were electric in over 20 countries during 2025.
European makers shift output to electric
Solaris handed over 1,631 buses in 2025, up 7%, with low- and zero-emission models making up 86% of deliveries and revenue rising 28% to EUR 1.18 billion. The company also booked 2,780 new orders, giving it a record order book going into 2026.
Restraints and Challenges
High upfront price versus diesel
An electric city bus still costs well above a diesel bus at purchase, even though fuel and maintenance savings narrow the gap over its life. Agencies without grants or leasing support often delay orders. Smaller cities face the hardest choice, because they buy only a few buses at a time and cannot spread the cost of chargers and staff training across a large fleet. Battery replacement in the middle of a bus's life adds another cost that many budgets do not yet plan for.
Funding swings in North America
The IEA's Global EV Outlook 2025 reported that U.S. electric bus sales fell roughly 40% in 2024 from the prior year's peak, partly because of supply chain problems. Grant timing and shifts in federal priorities make order books in the United States less predictable than in Europe or China.
Grid connections and depot space
Large depots need megawatt-scale grid connections that can take years to approve. Many urban depots also lack room for chargers and transformers, which slows full fleet conversion. Agencies also need backup plans for power cuts, and some keep diesel buses in reserve for that reason. Utilities and transit agencies that plan connections together can cut lead times, but that coordination is still rare outside large cities.
Trade friction over Chinese supply
Chinese makers held a large share of European registrations in 2025. Concerns over subsidies, cybersecurity and local content may lead some buyers and governments to add tender rules that favor local production, which could raise prices.
Growth Drivers
Clean vehicle rules and zero-emission tender targets
EU rules on clean public procurement and national targets push cities to buy only zero-emission buses. The result is visible in the data: zero-emission models took 60% of the EU city bus market in 2025, and Europe registered 11,607 electric buses, up 48% on 2024. MAN, Daimler Buses, Iveco and Solaris have all moved most of their city bus output to electric drive, and Solaris reported 86% low- and zero-emission deliveries in 2025. As remaining diesel fleets in Southern and Eastern Europe are renewed, this driver adds about +2.1% to annual market growth over the decade.
Large state-backed programs in India and China
India's PM E-Drive scheme funds 10,900 electric buses through a single CESL tender concluded in December 2025, including 4,500 for Bengaluru and 2,800 for Delhi. Operators such as EKA Mobility, PMI Electro Mobility, JBM Auto and Olectra Greentech supply buses under gross cost contracts. In China, where electric models make up about 60% of bus sales, city fleets keep replacing early electric buses bought a decade ago. These programs account for roughly 2.6 percentage points of the 11.42% global CAGR and keep Asia Pacific the largest region.
Lower battery costs and longer range
Falling LFP pack prices let makers offer longer range at the same price, which opens intercity and coach routes. Yutong sold 49,518 buses in 2025, up 5.54%, and shipped electric fleets to Chile, Pakistan and Greece. BloombergNEF expects electric and fuel cell buses to reach about 60% of global bus sales by 2030. Cheaper batteries contribute an estimated 1.4 points of yearly growth, mostly through the coach and intercity segments.
Opportunities
Electric coaches and intercity buses
Intercity and coach buses grow at 15.62% a year. Makers that offer 400 km or more of real-world range, fast charging and luggage space can win early orders from private coach operators in Europe and Asia.
Bus-as-a-service and leasing models
India's per-kilometer contracts show demand for models where the operator or maker owns the bus and the battery. Leasing firms that take battery risk can open markets in Latin America and Africa where agencies lack capital. Spending in Latin America grows at 14.93% a year in our model, and agencies there often prefer to pay per kilometer rather than buy buses outright.
Battery repurposing and depot energy services
Each city bus carries a large pack that keeps useful capacity after its road life. Makers and operators that reuse packs for depot storage can lower charging costs and earn grid service revenue, which improves the business case for the next round of fleet orders.

Chinese Volume Leaders Compete with European Incumbents for City Tenders
The electric bus market is led by a few high-volume Chinese makers, a group of European truck and bus groups that have converted their city ranges to electric, and regional specialists in India and North America. Tenders are won on total cost of ownership, delivery time, warranty terms and local service networks.
Chinese volume leaders
Yutong is the world's largest bus maker by volume, with 49,518 buses sold in 2025, and the top electric bus brand in Europe. BYD makes its own LFP Blade batteries and more than tripled its European bus registrations in 2025. Both firms use scale in batteries and drivetrains to price below many European rivals.
European bus groups
Daimler Buses sells the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro, one of Europe's best-selling electric city buses. MAN Truck & Bus registered 1,409 electric buses in Europe in 2025 with its Lion's City E. Iveco Bus and its Heuliez brand ranked second in Europe in the first half of 2026. Solaris, part of CAF, delivered 1,631 buses in 2025, and Wrightbus in Northern Ireland registered 921 electric buses in 2025. Volvo Buses also supplies electric chassis and complete buses.
Indian makers and operators
Tata Motors, Olectra Greentech, JBM Auto, PMI Electro Mobility, EKA Mobility and Switch Mobility build and operate electric buses under India's per-kilometer contracts. Their competitive edge is local content and the ability to run fleets, not just sell vehicles.
North American suppliers
NFI Group, through New Flyer, and Gillig lead the U.S. transit bus market, while Blue Bird is a leading maker of electric school buses. Their order books depend on federal and state grant cycles, which makes demand more uneven than in Europe.
How the field is shifting
Price gaps between Chinese and European buses are narrowing as European makers move to LFP cells and larger production runs. At the same time, Chinese suppliers are adding local assembly and service hubs to meet tender rules on support and spare parts. Over the forecast period we expect buyers to weigh after-sales coverage, software updates and battery warranties as heavily as the purchase price.
