More than half of public buses will become electric buses in 2025

According to Bloomberg, nearly half of the world's buses will soon be "electrified" by 2025. In particular, China will be a leader in global trends.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) reports that the total number of electric buses will increase by three times compared to the current 2025.

In 2017, the world currently has 386,000 electric buses operating.

In 2017, the world currently has 386,000 electric buses operating. However, in the next 7 years, this figure could increase to 1.2 million units, an increase of about 47% compared to the present.

Leading the world will continue to be China. According to Aleksandra O'Donovan, the study author revealed: 'China will lead the electric bus market thanks to strong support from the government and proposed city construction goals'.

O'Donovan believes China will hold 99% of the world's electric buses by 2025.

China will be the leader in electric bus trends worldwide.

That said, international efforts are not unnoticeable. New York City, the United States is expected to add more new electric bus routes in the future. According to researcher Judah Aber of the University. Columbia, building electric buses will help reduce the city's annual carbon emissions by 575 thousand tons.

However, the biggest obstacle to traffic officials is reluctant to switch from fossil fuel vehicles to electricity, which is the cost. But research from the University. Columbia in 2016 pointed out, electric buses cost only about 300 thousand USD more than oil buses during their 12-year lifespan.

Aber added that electric buses will help save fuel costs by at least 39 thousand dollars per year.

Buses are vehicles with large road transport capacity.

As can be seen, the impact from the transition to electric buses is very large. Not only China and New York, many other cities such as London, Paris, Los Angeles, etc. have also pledged to stop deploying oil buses in 2025.

Such global commitments will undoubtedly open a new revolution for public transportation.

The reason that public buses are first selected in the transportation 'electrification' roadmap is that buses often follow fixed routes. This also means, operators will not have to worry about battery capacity, charging times, etc. Above all, buses are also vehicles with large road transport capacity.
