How can we achieve a shift in local public transport?
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection has been funding the market launch of e-buses since 2018. Together with ifeu, CP/COMPARTNER Agentur für Kommunikation and EEBC European Electrical Bus Company, we investigated how effective this funding has been.
These are the results:
Prognos analysed the electric bus market in Germany by means of a comprehensive industry analysis, in which market data on fleet development, market shares and industry structure were evaluated.
In addition, a detailed cost comparison was carried out between electric and diesel buses for different bus categories, which took into account not only the acquisition costs but also the operating and maintenance costs. This determined the extent to which the funding addressed the additional costs for electric buses. This provided crucial insights for the evaluation of the funding measures.
