United States Electric Bus Market Outlook

The United States electric bus market size was around USD 889.42 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.2% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a market value of nearly USD 4513.59 million by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Buses that run on electricity are called electric buses or e-bus, and they are powered by electricity completely or partially. Buses running partially on electricity and combustion engines are known as hybrid buses. Electric buses are not only beneficial for the environment but also provide financial benefits due to their lower operational costs.

 

  • The United States electric bus market growth can be attributed to the increasing focus on decarbonisation and the switch towards electric vehicles. Electric buses in the United States witnessed a significant increase of 66% in 2022.  As of September 2022, there were 5,480 full-size battery-electric and fuel-cell electric transit buses and only 3,297 in 2021.
  • Stringent environmental regulations aimed at reducing emissions and promoting zero-carbon emission vehicles also drive the United States electric bus market demand. Under the scheme Zero Emission Bus (ZEB), the United States aims to transition all public transit agencies to 100% zero-emission bus fleets by 2040. Moreover, the usage of electric buses is likely to promote cheaper fuel and reduce oil dependence in the coming years.
  • Ongoing advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology, particularly improvements in battery technology and charging infrastructures, are enhancing the feasibility of electric buses. These advancements contribute to making electric buses more competitive, economically viable, and sustainable compared to traditional fossil fuel-powered buses.
