In 2023, new registrations of diesel motor coaches, buses, and trolley buses (excluding hybrids) in Italy were approximately 4,600. The forecast for 2024 through 2028 shows a consistent increase of registrations rising roughly from 4,710 to 5,290 registrations per year, indicating a positive year-on-year growth. From 2024 to 2028, we see an annual average growth of around 3%. The consistent rise suggests a growing reliance on diesel infrastructure for public transport during this period. This contrasts with broader European trends favoring greener options.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Rising regulatory pressures towards greener transport solutions.
- Technological advancements in hybrid and electric buses potentially influencing market dynamics.
- Potential economic factors and fuel price volatility impacting diesel vehicle investments.
