Electric buses: crucible of change
Buses are now a crucible of change, often adopting new technology before cars.27 Jul 2015
Electric buses: billion dollar orders and crucibles of change
China alone may have 11 million electric buses by 2025 or not long after. The way they are getting costs down - something tracked by IDTechEx - that may be at a much lower price than today but still constitute about $1 trillion or more. Compare that over a decade or more with the IDTechEx projections of all global EV sales, land, water and air, in 2025 of around $500 billion. Buses matter.2014

New record set for daily mileage with a battery-electric transit bus
A bus built by Proterra has set a record for the most miles travelled by a battery-electric bus in a day - traveling more than 700 miles in 24 hours. Equally impressive is the fact that on this trip the bus recorded an average fuel economy of nearly 27 miles per gallon - nearly six times that of a diesel bus and seven times that of CNG.2012

The future of electric buses
The major growth in electric buses is in free running versions which cost $50,000 to $500,000 and can usually be deployed without infrastructure along the route. The larger electric buses tend to be hybrid to get the range: smaller ones tend to be pure electric. The IDTechEx report, "Electric Vehicles 2010-2020" estimates that there are about 480,000 buses in the world - mostly small ones - with about 135,000 being bought each year as the fleets grow. Although only 12% of these new buses are electric, penetration is increasing and there is a multibillion dollar market awaiting.11 Nov 2010
