Bus Market Drivers

Increasing adoption of Electric Buses

Fuel plays a major role in cost of transport. Diesel cost is rising year on year. On the other hand Electric vehicles are lot cheaper in the long run and significantly the most comfortable mode of transport compared to diesel and petrol engine buses. This combined with pollution reduction in order to meet increased government scrutiny will drive market growth for electric buses.

Government Initiatives to Control Traffic

Increased population is one driver that is major cause for the pollution and traffic. The government initiatives from the ministry of road transport & highways in India has introduced the scheme for providing the central assistance to the states road transport undertaking for strengthening the public transport system. The scheme will provide the financial assistance for the use of latest information technology such GPS/ GSM based vehicles for tracking system, automatic fare collection system, electronic ticket vending machines and many others for the inter city and rural area operations. The increased use of public transport will reduce the use of private vehicles which will reduce congestion on road and decrease traffic. Smart transportation assists in this and utilizes information technology and artificial intelligence to efficiently manage and coordinate advanced public transportation systems. For instance, in Germany, they are using artificial intelligence to optimize traffic light control and reduce the waiting time at an intersection. The application of smart transportation network allows the traveling population to be aware of the traffic for better coordination and to ensure safety of the drivers. Over the past decade, traffic congestion has continued to increase globally. For instance In the U.S. alone, traffic congestion cost $305 billion in 2019, an increase of $10 billion from 2018. Increase in congestion will ultimately increase demand for smart transportation market.
