U.S. Zero-Emission Bus Adoption Sees
Continued Growth, CALSTART Report Finds

The transition to zero-emission transit buses (ZEBs) in the U.S. continues to gain momentum despite industry headwinds, such as lingering supply chain issues and a smaller manufacturing pool for transit vehicles, as stated in CALSTART’s updated annual “Zeroing in on Zero-Emission Buses” report.

The research provides timely insight on the number of awarded, ordered, delivered, or operational ZEBs within the U.S. If this pace continues, the country is on track to surpass 15,000 full-size ZEBs by 2030.

“Despite industry challenges, we’ve seen a 14% increase in full-size zero-emission bus deployments over the past year, demonstrating resilience and progress toward a zero-emission future,” said Mike Hynes, deputy director, transit, for CALSTART. “It is only with strong federal and state support that we can build on this momentum and continue.”
