DUBLIN, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and
Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6vkxds/_electric_buses)
has announced the addition of the " Electric Buses 2015-2025"
report to their offering.
Industrial and commercial electric vehicles will be a similar
market to cars but innovating faster and frequently more profitable
for all in the value chain. The most important sector is buses, the
subject of this report, where innovation often comes before cars
because they are less price sensitive. In this report we show how
the Chinese are now dominating the league table, buying the most
buses and innovating rapidly already creating the lowest cost base
by far. We examine the different power trains and the move from
chassis to integrated manufacture often with no chassis and later
structural electronics as bodywork will come. Technological
roadmaps show the rapid innovation coming in the next decade and
regional and technology sales are forecasted to 2025.
Well over 100 hybrid and pure electric bus manufacturers are
appraised and regional trends revealed. Based on extensive
interviews, conferences and searches in 2014-5, this unique report
is the only up to date in depth appraisal of the issues and trends
including a detailed look at fuel cell buses over nearly three
decades identifying why further delays are risking the window of
opportunity for them closing as the greener, more efficient pure
electric buses prove fit for prime time and over one quarter of one
million e-buses are purchased in 2025 due to both legal push and
market pull.
Forecasts are for number, unit price and market value 2015-2025
by region, powertrain and pure electric vs hybrid. Over 8t and
under 8t are analysed in the 150+ pages of original summary and
analysis, easily grasped by those with limited time. The
information has been appraised by our PhD level analysts with long
experience and an intensive program of travel to check out the
facts. Worldwide, over 100 manufacturers and many recent interviews
are covered including EV events in Japan, Taiwan, the USA, UK and Germany in the last few months. This is
essential because the subject is moving so fast with the strong
technologies, regions, manufacturers etc changing rapidly.
