On the way to a fully zero emission city bus market in 2035? Technology | business case | market uptake
As Europe moves towards a – close: 2035 – future where only zero emission buses will be sold for urban operations, battery-electric technology currently leads the market.
However, the tide is shifting with an increasing number of fuel cell bus projects and a growing variety of H2-powered models. This session will explore the dynamics of this fast-paced market and the innovations driving it forward.
Fundings for public transport are robust, and the market is bouncing back in terms of registrations. However, significant questions remain about the future trajectory. The localization of the supply chain is one topic of interest in the post pandemic world. Additionally, OEMs are working to adjust their production capacities to scale up and meet the growing demand for zero emission buses. Creative financing models are being explored to support this growth, and the challenge of managing the second life of batteries is becoming increasingly pertinent.

The framework
During 2023 the number of e-buses registered in Europe has passed the 6,000 mark. The zero emission bus market can only grow, with a +53% achieved in Europe in 2023 on 2022.
E-buses in 2023 commanded a 42% share of the city bus market in Europe, a substantial leap from 30% in 2023, 22.8% in 2022, 15% in 2021. A clear indication of this trend was clear at Busworld Europe 2023, where over 50% of the buses displayed were powered by batteries. Taking into account only city buses, 96% of them were zero emission.
A crucial question for public transport operators (PTOs), public transport authorities (PTAs), and institutions is how the race for innovation and modernization in bus operations will translate into an increased modal share of public transportation.
The conference promises to provide insightful discussions and strategic insights, making it a must-attend event for anyone invested in the future of sustainable urban mobility.
Format
The Sustainable Bus Tour’s initiative was launched in 2021 and it’s now at its 4th edition. So far developed in digital way, through webinars and VideoSpotlights, in 2024 the Sustainable Bus Tour becomes a fully in-person initiative with events planned in the framework of the exhibitions Next Mobility Exhibitions in Milan and Euro Mobility Expo in Strasbourg.
