The U.S. electric bus market value is predicted to surge from an estimated $490.6 million in 2021 to $1,924.8 million by 2026, demonstrating a CAGR of 31.4% from 2021 to 2026. According to the market research report published by P&S Intelligence. The major factors fueling the expansion of the market are the implementation of strict regulatory measures for reducing emissions, provision of federal funding for augmenting the deployment of zero-emission buses, declining battery costs, improving operational efficiencies, and various long-term economic benefits of electric buses.
The increasing concerns of environmental agencies and local governments over the deteriorating environment, owing to the rising urban vehicular emissions, are resulting in the enactment of strict emission control regulations in the U.S. Presently, diesel-powered buses are a crucial part of the country’s public transportation system, but they are major emitters of toxic greenhouse gases. Thus, the enactment of strict environmental regulations is fueling the adoption of zero- and low-emission transport systems, which is, in turn, propelling the growth of the U.S. electric bus market.
The plunging costs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are also driving the progress of the market. As per industry experts, the average cost of Li-ion battery cells for large orders fell from nearly $1,000 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in 2010 to around $310/kWh in 2019.
The battery electric bus (BEB) category held the largest share, under the vehicle type segment, in the past, as BEBs are the cleanest of all such automobiles.
The inductive charging category, within the charging type segment, is predicted to demonstrate the fastest growth in the coming years. This is credited to the ability of this technology to rapidly charge electric buses.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused huge disruptions in the U.S. electric bus market, as the lockdowns imposed by the federal and state governments affected the import of electronic and electrical components from China and hampered automotive production.
BYD and Levo Mobility, which is a joint venture of Stonepeak Partners L.P., Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP, and Nuvve Holding Corp., announced a partnership in May 2021. Under it, Levo will buy up to 5,000 medium- and heavy-duty, vehicle-to-grid (V2G)-enabled battery electric vehicles (BEVs) over a period of five years.
Some of the major players operating in the U.S. electric bus market are Proterra Inc., BYD Motors Inc., NFI Group Inc., GreenPower Motor Company Inc., Blue Bird Corporation, GILLIG LLC, Daimler AG, REV Group Inc., The Lion Electric Co., and AB Volvo.
