Industry Brief According to TechSci Research report, “Asia Pacific Bus Market By Length Type (Less than 8m, Between 8m-10m, Between 10m-12m, Greater than 12m), By Fuel Type (Diesel, Petrol/Gasoline, Gas, Electric, Hybrid), By Seating Capacity (Less than 30, Between 30-40, Greater than 40), By Body Type (Fully Built, Customizable), By Application (Transit Bus, School Bus/Others, Motorcoaches), By Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2026”, Asia Pacific Bus market is anticipated to reach 42.57 thousand units by 2026 because of growing environmental concerns about diesel buses, which emit a lot of pollution that is harmful to people's health and the environment, as well as increasing government measures to encourage the use of electric buses. Due to increasing fleet of personal two-wheelers and four-wheeler vehicles on roads, the level of pollution is increasing day by day which is a huge concern. Not only this, increasing fleet of personal vehicles is affecting the environment and also leading to traffic congestion which is creating lots of issues for the daily travellers on the roads. To overcome the issue of environmental pollution and traffic congestion governments are taking necessary steps like promoting buses for daily travelling by decreasing subsidies on buses and benefits for increasing the adoption rate of electric vehicles and replacing heavy-duty diesel and gasoline-run buses with zero-emission electric buses. Electric buses have the potential to significantly reduce pollution levels because no gases will escape from the vehicle and produce pollution. However, because more people will opt to commute by bus as a result of increased bus services, these buses will also help to reduce traffic congestion. However, the deployment of electric buses will depend upon country wise policy and also the number of charging stations in respective countries. To run the electric buses on roads, countries should have a strong charging infrastructure to avoid problems. Asia Pacific Bus market can be segmented on the basis of length, by fuel type, by seating capacity, by body type and by application. Based on length type, less than 8m buses is leading the market.
