The global electric bus market is growing owing to the government initiatives taken to control the emission of greenhouse gases emitting from vehicles. Governments of different countries are encouraging the adoption of electric buses in place of diesel buses. In July 2019, the US Department of Transportation‘s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced the grant of $84.9 million through the Low-or No Emission (Low-No) grant program, which will focus on the deployment of transit buses and development of infrastructure that uses advanced propulsion technologies. These grants are allotted for thirty-eight projects in 38 states of the country. The selected project under Low-No grants includes The Prince George’s County’, Maryland department of transportation has received $2.2 million to purchase electric buses and charging stations which will run nearby places to the University of Maryland and communities within opportunity zones.

Government initiatives and stringent emission regulations have influenced the market in Japan. Japan is going to implement Nissan LEAF technology in its electric bus project. The project is initiated by Kumamoto University by bringing together the automotive industry, government, and academia. The Japanese Ministry of Environment project is also involved with the aim of reduction or emission of CO2 and other harmful substances emission from the buses and other larger vehicles. The major cost component in the manufacturing of electric buses includes batteries and electric motors and the Nissan LEAF technology will help in reducing the cost of manufacturing. The bus, named Yoka ECO BUS, will have three electronic motors, three batteries, and an inverter from Nissan LEAF with addition to a gearbox that will provide the technical support to the vehicle.
