Fuels such as petrol, gasoline, and diesel and are becoming more expensive and also lead to harmful emissions, resulting in push for alternative fuel types.

Technological advancements in electric and hybrid bus technology and expansion of charging infrastructure for such vehicles will further support the growth of the electric and hybrid bus segment in the overall bus market. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and South Africa have already deployed several electric buses, while Egypt, among others, have more deployments planned.
