In 2020, BEVs gets 6.1% of coaches and buses sales in Europe
- The market share in Europe for passenger cars (PCs) with electrified engines, or xEVs (BEV + HEV + PHEV), reached 15.3% of the total market in 2020, broken down into 6.2% for BEVs, 5.2% for PHEVs and 3.9% for HEVs.
- The share of these electrified engines is surprisingly equivalent for coaches and buses. In 2020, the share of electrified engines reached 15,6%, broken down into 6.1% BEV and 9.5% HEV+PHEV. In addition, 11.4% of buses and coaches are running on natural gas. With a total of 27%, this proportion of alternative engines (xEVs + natural gas) is the highest among all vehicles (passenger cars, LUVs, trucks and buses). In 2019, this share of alternative engines did not exceed 23%.
- Diesel engines still represent the vast majority of engines running coaches and buses, reaching 72.9% of the market share in 2020. Despite this large share - but lower than for heavy utility vehicles - diesel engines are steadily declining with the arrival of alternative engines. The gasoline engine remains extremely marginal since it does not exceed 0.1% of the market share of coaches and buses.
- Compared to 2019, the number of BEVs (2,272 units) increased by 30.3%, HEVs-PHEVs (2,860 units) by 38.8%, while the number of diesel (26,196 units) decreased by 29.5%, gasoline engines (6 units) by 53.8%, while natural gas engines (3,447 units) increased by 21.1%. The European coaches and buses market represented 34,781 units in 2020 against 43,799 units in 2019.
