> During the second quarter of this year, the share of zero-emission city buses reached a 40%, firmly establishing their dominance as the preferred technology choice. The sales figures revealed that pure electric buses accounted for the majority (38%), while hydrogen fuel cell buses held a smaller but steadily growing share (2%).
> As mentioned above, six European Member States exclusively registered zero-emission city buses during this quarter: Netherlands, Denmark, Slovenia, Ireland, Finland, and Portugal. Among these, battery-electric buses remain the most popular choice, but hydrogen fuel cell buses are gaining momentum in some larger countries like Germany and France.
> However, it’s worth noting that certain countries, particularly France and Italy, are still witnessing significant sales of natural gas-powered buses.
Quo vadis, Austria, land of great electric trains and trams?
