The United Kingdom leads Europe in the number of motor coaches, buses, and trolley buses, with a substantial volume of 140.68 thousand units, followed closely by Poland and Italy. Key year-on-year growth was observed in Poland and Finland, while notable declines were seen in Bulgaria, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, and Latvia. Over the longer term, countries with high compound annual growth rates such as Portugal and Luxembourg indicate upward trends, whereas declines in countries like Norway and Lithuania suggest a need for market adaptations.
Future trends to watch include the evolution of policies promoting sustainable urban transport and incentives for modernizing fleets, which may drive shifts in market shares across Europe. The push for greener technologies could lead to increased investments in electric and alternative fuel buses, particularly in environmentally progressive regions.
