Maximum battery capacity <\/strong>of 12-meter buses available on the European market has been increasing, on average, of 34% in the last 4 years<\/strong>. And the number of bus models with +400 kWh on board possible has increased 9-fold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s just one of the findings of the study \u201cElectrification trends in local public transport\u201d<\/strong> by\u00a0Motus-E<\/strong>, curated by Sustainable Bus<\/strong>\u00a0in collaboration with the Bolzano-based research center\u00a0Eurac Research<\/strong>, and published today (and\u00a0AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD HERE<\/a>), and focusing on an in-depth look at the transition towards increasingly electric urban mobility in\u00a0Italy<\/strong>\u00a0and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motus-E is an Italian trade organization made up of industrial players, automotive professionals, the academic world, and associations aiming to\u00a0accelerate the switch to electric mobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motus-E: “e-buses are ready for 1:1 replacement”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the study, 2,500 zero emission buses were awarded in Italy in 2023<\/a>. And in 2050 the Italian bus fleet will consist of 88% electric vehicles and 9% hydrogen vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motus-e study, “all the preconditions are in place for fully intercepting the trend towards e-mobility in Italy, starting from the possibility of a 1:1 replacement of buses with endothermic engines<\/strong>, due to the considerable increase in the autonomy of battery-powered buses”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery capacity grew 34% in 4 years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The study also focuses on the advancements in place at the technology level. The evolution of e-bus technology over the past four years has seen remarkable advancements, particularly in battery capacity and chemistry. Notably, the maximum available capacity for 12-meter electric buses has increased by 34% from 2020 to 2024<\/strong>. This surge in capacity means that e-buses can now travel longer distances on a single charge, enhancing their autonomy and making them more viable for extensive urban and intercity routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the most striking developments is the exponential growth<\/strong> in the availability of e-buses equipped with batteries exceeding 400 kWh. In 2020, only three such models were on the market. By 2024, this number has skyrocketed to 27, marking an impressive 800% increase<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery chemistry has also seen significant shifts, with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries gaining prominence. LFP batteries are becoming more popular due to their cost-effectiveness compared to nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries and substantial improvements in energy density<\/strong>, as also BloombergNFE continues to highlight<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the market has seen the introduction of cell-to-pack products<\/strong>, which integrate battery cells directly into the vehicle frame. This innovation not only optimizes space utilization but also enhances the structural integrity and energy efficiency of e-buses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
