About This Report

This report is an invaluable resource for market size and share data, current adoption rates, orders and models in operation in the zero-emission bus segment – an area of growing interest with transit agencies increasingly looking to replace fossil-fuel propelled buses with zero-emission buses.

Use this report to identify market shares of not just the leading players – Forest River Group, the REV Group and the New Flyer Industries Group – but the 20 other fabricators who contribute 45% of this $4.2 billion business.

85% to 90% of integral buses are purchased by public transit agencies. The balance are mainly purchased for applications similar to transit, which include shuttle buses at airport parking lots, universities, national parks and hotel shuttle services.

Ninety-nine percent of integral transit buses are estimated to be handicap-accessible vehicles with wheelchair accessibility, while 65% of body-on-chassis buses manufactured annually are estimated to be ADA-compliant wheelchair-accessible vehicles. ADA-compliant paratransit buses on purchased chassis are mainly purchased by public transit agencies. Over 55% of body-on-chassis buses are estimated to be purchased by public transit agencies.

The North American shuttle bus manufacturing industry has experienced significant activity in the nature of new entrants, changes in ownership, product segment exits, plant closures, new facilities, plant expansions and joint ventures over the last decade.

Transit ridership is expected to increase going forward driven by ageing fleets, ageing population and a growing acceptance of the efficiency of bus rapid transit. Additionally, environmental concerns and new regulations in various states are expected to drive demand for alternative, cleaner propulsion technologies, which in turn is expected to boost demand for new buses.

This database and analysis can be used as an excellent benchmarking tool for identifying strengths, strategies and areas of competence of other market participants, possible acquisition/partnership targets and trends and forecasts for the business.

This is one of the three sections comprising Bus Industry in North America 2019. Other sections available separately are School Bus Manufacturing in North America and Motorcoach/Intercity Bus Industry in North America.
