Busworld North America<\/strong> is under preparation. The first edition of the new exhibition will be held in\u00a0January 28-30, 2021<\/strong> at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore (Maryland), United States.<\/p>\n This first Busworld North America will follow exactly 1 year after the inaugural seminar Busworld Academy North America at the ABA Marketplace coming January 13-14, 2020<\/strong> in Omaha, Nebraska. Here, the future of the North American bus & (motor)coach market, as well as the challenges and trends in the region lying ahead will be discussed.<\/p>\n However, the next Busworld edition will be Busworld Turkey, scheduled in early March 2020<\/a>. In October 2019 Busworld Europe had its first time in Brussels (and in that framework the Sustainable Bus Awards 2020 were handed over<\/a>). The result was the biggest edition ever, with as many as 40,000 visitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00abNorth America has been an untapped market for Busworld so far, but as many things are moving in the industry globally, Busworld is convinced that Busworld North America will be the perfect platform to help bringing both local and international industry professionals together to increase business opportunities and exchange knowledge and experience, that eventually will benefit the North American passenger\u00bb, Busworld highlights in a press release.<\/p>\n California and New York city have taken the lead in the transition to clean transportation by setting the target at 100% zero-emission (transit) bus fleets by 2040 (California is at the forefront: as stated on CARB, no diesel buses will be purchased from 2029 on<\/a>). Following this statement nearly every state in the US now has a program to replace its diesel buses for electric versions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Today there are only about 650 electric buses<\/a> on US roads, but under the current pledges by states, cities and urban transit agencies, at least a third of the nearly 70,000 buses in the country will be electrified by 2045<\/strong>. Recently Los Angeles Department of Transportation\u00a0(LADOT) ordered 130 battery-electric buses, the largest single order of battery-electric buses to date in the United States<\/a>.\u00a0According to P&S market research, electric bus market in the US will see\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 18,5 % between 2018 – 2024. A percentage that grows to 40 per cent with regards to battery electric buses only.<\/p>\n 650 electric buses today operating in US<\/p>\n Other regions and cities in North America such as British Columbia, Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City (where 63 battery trolleybuses manufactured by Yutong are currently on delivery<\/a>) have recently also jumped on the zero-emission bus story.<\/p>\n\n
