OUTLOOKS<br />
Volvo. Lagging behind, Iveco Bus registered<br />
131 electric buses in H1 <strong>2023</strong>, capturing<br />
a 5 percent market share. The figures reflect<br />
a steady performance. Daimler Buses, with<br />
105 electric bus registrations in H1 <strong>2023</strong><br />
and a small 4 percent market share, faces a<br />
decline from 405 registrations in 2022.<br />
Tough times for VDL<br />
VDL, with only 25 electric bus registrations<br />
in H1 <strong>2023</strong> and a 1 percent market<br />
share, faces considerable challenges. The<br />
drastic decline from 344 registrations in<br />
2022 suggests that VDL is struggling to<br />
maintain a strong foothold in the European<br />
e-mobility market.<br />
The performance of the main players is illustrated<br />
by the chart comparing the manufacturers’<br />
market shares in the battery-electric<br />
bus segment. The comparison between results<br />
of the first half of <strong>2023</strong> with those of<br />
the same period last year would have given<br />
little information on the industrial and commercial<br />
developments of OEMs businesses.<br />
Therefore, we chose to report data for the<br />
entire past years and focus, for compari-<br />
son’s purposes, on the market shares.<br />
Back to electric buses, while MAN has<br />
made impressive strides, Solaris continues<br />
to hold the top position in the overall electric<br />
bus market for the period between 2012<br />
and June <strong>2023</strong>, with 1,884 units registered<br />
and a 12 percent market share.<br />
In Europe, electric city bus deployment is<br />
gaining traction, with over 15,000 electric<br />
buses currently operational. Leading the<br />
A notable development is<br />
the ascent of MAN, which<br />
has taken a significant<br />
share of the market for the<br />
first time. In H1 <strong>2023</strong> MAN<br />
had 260 electric buses<br />
registered, a significant<br />
increase from the 230 buses<br />
in the whole 2022. MAN<br />
market share almost doubled<br />
up to 10.1 percent.<br />
charge is the United Kingdom, boasting a<br />
fleet of 2,359 electric buses. Germany closely<br />
follows with 2,106 buses and France<br />
secures the third position with 1,739 electric<br />
buses. The Netherlands also plays a significant<br />
role in this shift toward sustainable urban<br />
mobility. These figures reflect Europe’s<br />
collective commitment to reducing emissions<br />
and adopting cleaner public transportation<br />
options.<br />
