The surge in government initiatives is also driving the expansion of the electric bus market. The government of established and emerging nations is mainly investing in the development of electric bus. The electric bus also helps end users to save time of their passengers. Due to ongoing trend of clean energy, the major countries have started using electric bus on a large scale. The electric bus is also helping government in reduction of noise pollution levels. Moreover, the utilization of solar powered electric bus charging stations is creating growth prospects for the electric bus market expansion.
The highly populated regions require good vehicles for public transportation. The electric bus is changing the face of public transportation in a different way. The electric bus helps in reduction of pollution which is helping in the reduction of global warming. The utilization of electric buses has helped government in saving costs. The launch of self-driving electric bus is boosting the growth and development of the global electric bus market. One of the prominent factors that drive the growth of the global electric bus market is technological developments. The new and advanced features deployed in the electric bus are creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the electric bus market. The electric buses are largely used in the developed regions. Additionally, the electric bus manufacturers are adding additional features to the bus such as additional seating capacity and lane keep assist system. The lane keep assist technology will help drivers to drive efficiently by reducing the chances of accidents. The electric bus is also helping in the reduction of road accidents. Thus, all of these factors are propelling the growth of the global electric bus market.
Globally, there has been a significant increase in the electrification of public transportation. This has resulted into low maintenance expenses for using electric buses. In addition, the government is significantly investing in the development of charging infrastructure in all developed regions. Moreover, the research and development expenditure in battery technology is also increasing. The electric bus is considered as environmentally friendly option all over the globe. In the developing regions such as Latin America and Asia-Pacific, there is surge in demand for environmentally friendly transportation and mobility solutions. Furthermore, the transportation companies are shifting their focus to sustainable energy. Thus, this has created significant demand for electric bus since few years.
