Leading electric & hybrid electric bus manufacturers across the globe have been constantly working on lowering cost of batteries in order to boost adoption of electric & hybrid buses in various developed as well as major developing countries, globally. Few of the leading electric & hybrid electric bus manufacturers such as Zhengzhou Yutong Group, BYD, Volvo, Zhongtong Bus, etc., have been expanding their product portfolios and focusing on introduction of various models of electric & hybrid electric buses with advanced features that are specific to a country's requirements and road conditions. Moreover, demand for electric & hybrid electric buses is growing for delivering public transport services in various countries across the world. With focus on strengthening public transportation and reducing level of air pollution, government across various emerging nations are likely to deploy zero emission buses in their respective public transportation fleets during the forecast period. Also, with government incentives and subsidy schemes, transport agencies across various countries, have started adding more and more electric & hybrid electric buses in their networks. In November 2013, ZeEUS (Zero Emission Urban Bus System), a demonstration project worth US$ 27.68 million, was launched by International Association of Public Transport. Under the ZeEUS project, the association plans to validate the anticipated positive outcomes of using electric & hybrid electric buses in major economies of the European region by 2017.

"Increasing urbanization and rapid developments in transportation industry across various major countries has contributed to rising CO2 emissions worldwide. Vehicles with conventional fuel systems are among the leading contributors of pollution, globally. In order to counter this issue, governments across various countries are taking initiatives to switch their public transportation systems to zero emission vehicles. This is propelling demand for new energy buses such as electric and hybrid electric buses. Though hybrid electric buses dominate global market for electric and hybrid electric buses, demand for pure electric buses is also anticipated to grow at a robust pace over the next five years, predominantly due to rising demand for zero emission vehicles in developed countries," said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
