"ACEA data indicate that electrically chargeable buses represented close to 24% of all new bus registrations in the EU in 2025 (nearly 26% when including EFTA countries and UK). This share increased compared with the previous year (as it was 18.5 in 2024, growing from 16 percent in 2023). Diesel buses remained the largest powertrain category overall, but their share declined as electric models gained ground."
"According to ACEA, "Italy became the largest market by volume of e-buses, with an impressive growth of 161.7%, while Spain increased by 17.5%, becoming the fourth-largest market for this power type. The German market also showed resilience, growing by 4.9%, whereas the French market declined by 11.4%. Hybrid-electric bus sales fell by 16.1%, making up a 9.8% share". Diesel bus registrations grew by 11.1%, increasing their market share to 63.1%, up 1 percentage point compared to 2023."
New bus registrations in the EU rose 7.5% year‑on‑year in 2025 to about 38,000 units, while van and truck markets declined. Electrically chargeable buses, including battery‑electric and plug‑in hybrids, reached close to 24% of new bus registrations in the EU (nearly 26% including EFTA and the UK), up from 18.5% in 2024 and 16% in 2023. Diesel buses remained the largest powertrain but saw a declining share as e‑buses expanded. Hybrid‑electric sales fell 16.1% to a 9.8% share. Italy recorded a 161.7% surge with over 1,200 BEVs; the Netherlands registered over 850 e‑buses.
