In France, the new registrations of diesel motor coaches, buses, and trolley buses (excluding hybrids) are expected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 5.1 thousand registrations in 2024 and trending down to 4.79 thousand registrations by 2028. Between 2024 and 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrates a consistent decrease. To provide context, these figures reflect a continuity of a downward trend that was also observed in previous years. In 2023, the registrations stood similarly around comparable figures, underpinning the gradual shift in preferences and regulations impacting diesel vehicle registrations.

Future trends to watch for include:

An increase in the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric or hydrogen-powered transit options, driven by environmental policies.
Government incentives or penalties influencing diesel vehicle registrations in favor of greener solutions.
Technological advancements in non-diesel vehicles enhancing their attractiveness and functionality as reliable transportation solutions.
