With 2,567 battery-electric buses registered in the fist half of 2023, the European e-bus market is growing 45%<\/strong>. Over a third of the city bus market (37.5%), on a European level, is covered by zero-emission buses (battery-electric and fuel cell).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Main news, MAN is for the first time taking a primary share of the market<\/strong>: with 260 registrations, the German group is the second top seller behind Solaris<\/strong>, that lead the e-bus market in first half of 2023 with 421 registrations and a market share of 16%. Interestingly enough, MAN placed ninth in 2022, with 230 deliveries in the whole year<\/a>, while Solaris ended last year with 342 units delivered, in sixth position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The increase of the share of alternative drive city buses (battery-electric, CNG, fuel cell, hybrid) looks unstoppable: 73.5%, up from 64.5 last year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behind Solaris and MAN, we find BYD<\/strong> – ADL, BYD, Yutong (leader in 2022) and Volvo. Lagging behind, Iveco Bus and Mercedes<\/strong> had 131 and 105 e-buses registered respectively, for a market share of 5 and 4 per cent.
