However, Navigant says, the adoption of electric buses (e-buses) will continue to rise as battery prices decline and a greater importance is placed on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. Fleets can take advantage of increasing government support to help surmount the high upfront costs associated with e-buses.

Fuel types of new buses in Europe (2021): Diesel : 68,8 %. Alternative fuels : 10,5 %. Hybrid : 10,1 %. Now, with cheap cobalt-free battery chemistries available, such as LFP (LiFePO4) and NIB (sodium-ion battery) there’s no reason why we still allow diesel buses to pollute the air that we all breathe.
