632 zero emission buses <\/strong>were registered in Germany<\/strong> in 2022<\/strong> (+7%): the country places on the second place in Europe (but at the forefront in EU), as only UK made better with 696 new e-bus and fuel cell bus registrations, according to figures by Chatrou CME Solutions<\/strong> and anticipated by German media<\/strong> Omnibus.news<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The growth compared to 2021 is moderate<\/strong>: while 2021 was a doubling of figures on 2020, last year the increase was just a little over 7% (in 2021 as many as 555 battery-electric buses have been registered along with 33 fuel cell buses<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The figures concern BEV and FCEV buses over 8 tons which were registered in Germany last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mercedes leads the ranking of electric buses as in the last year with 296 new registrations<\/strong> for the Mercedes eCitaro<\/a>. On the second place we find VDL Bus & Coach<\/strong> with 106 new electric buses delivered. Same situation as in 2021. There was a change on the third place: here there is room for Solaris<\/strong>, with 70 zero emission buses delivered. Interesting enough, for the first time the supplier has provided more fuel cell buses than battery-electric buses<\/strong> (28 BEV and 42 FCEV, still according to Chatrou CME Solutions figures covered by omnibus.news<\/strong>). MAN comes fourth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2021 the total number of zero emission buses operating in Germany reached 1,269, according to PwC figures. Adding the 632 vehicles registered in 2022, we get a total figure of 1,901 zero emission buses running today in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2022 delays in deliveries were quite common: BVG is still waiting for its 90 Ebusco e-buses<\/a>, and also Hamburger Hochbahn is waiting for a supply of 50 vehicles. This may threaten PwC forecast released in mid 2022: according the consulting, at that time, German transport companies wanted to purchase almost 3,400 purely electrically powered buses by 2025<\/a>, including 513 with fuel cell drive. By 2030, there are already plans for more than 5,500 additional electrically powered buses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 632 zero emission buses were registered in Germany in 2022 (+7%): the country places on the second place in Europe (but at the forefront in EU), as only UK made better with 696 new e-bus and fuel cell bus registrations, according to figures by Chatrou CME Solutions and anticipated by German media Omnibus.news.
