In response to growing environmental concerns, market participants in Argentina are switching from diesel and gasoline buses to electric buses. 18 electric buses made up the first fleet of electric buses that were launched a few years ago in the city of Mendoza.
These buses used iron-phosphate batteries, parallel-mounted electric motors, and regenerative braking to increase the amount of energy stored in the batteries. Increasing government partnerships with both domestic and international groups would promote regional growth.
The market’s expansion will be hampered by the high cost of electric car acquisition as well as a lack of suitable inOn the strength of rising government spending to switch from conventional fuel buses to electric buses, Argentina’s electric bus industry is predicted to have great development potential over the coming years.
Battery Electric Buses (BEB), Plug-In Electric Buses (PHEB), and Hybrid Electric Buses can be used to categorize all electric buses in Argentina (HEB). The Hybrid Electric Bus (HEB) category, which accounted for the majority of market revenues, is anticipated to dominate the market in the years to come.
The fastest increase is anticipated for Battery Electric Bus (BEB) in the upcoming years, though.
The Argentina Electric bus market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Argentina’s first electric bus fleet. Mendoza received 18 ebuses, making it Argentina’s first country with an electric bus fleet. In the city of Mendoza, 18 cars recently started their operations. There are 12 units from BYD. STM runs the fleet of zero-emission buses.
According to a press statement from BYD, the 12-meter K9 model buses have low flooring, air conditioning and heating systems, and three lateral access doors. For the benefit of disabled passengers, they also feature automated ramps, a side tilt feature, a camera, and door coverings for added security.
They have a minimum seating capacity of 26 people and have room designated for wheelchairs.
They have iron-phosphate batteries and electric motors mounted parallel to each wheel. Regenerative braking allows for the storage of more energy in the batteries.The Governor emphasized how important this moment is for Mendoza. We are reducing an issue with the environment.
With projects that raise the standard of living in Greater Mendoza, the city is making remarkable strides. These 18 vehicles, which make up the majority of the nation’s fleet, are included.
