Together with France, these three countries made up more than 50% of all electric buses registered in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy contrast, hybrid electric buses lost ground<\/strong>, with sales falling by 25.9% and market share shrinking from 10.3% in 2021 to 8.1% last year. This decline was mainly driven by the sharp drop recorded in Germany (-25.3%), which alone accounts for almost half of all hybrid electric buses registered in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn total, ACEA continues, 11.9% of all new buses and coaches registered in 2022 ran on alternative fuels, most of which were powered by natural gas. France \u2013 the largest market in this category \u2013 suffered a decline (-11.5%). However, Italy and Spain posted triple- and double-digit gains (+112.6% and +28.6% respectively).
