Electric Buses Were 56% Of EU City Bus Market In 2025 - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica highlights the rapid growth of electric buses in the European Union's city bus market, noting that in 2025, zero-emission (ZE) buses—comprising battery-electric and fuel cell models—accounted for 60% of new city bus sales, with battery-electric buses making up 56% and fuel cell buses 4%. This marks a significant increase from 2019, when electric buses represented only 12% of the market, demonstrating a swift transition toward electrification in heavy urban transport. The article emphasizes the environmental and health benefits of electric buses, such as reduced carbon emissions, elimination of toxic diesel fumes, quieter operation, and improved comfort and health for drivers and passengers. Transport & Environment projects that if the current growth rate continues, the EU could achieve 100% zero-emission city buses by 2028, well ahead of the 2035 target. Several EU member states have already reached or surpassed 90% zero-emission bus shares
