AUSTRALIA ELECTRIC BUS MARKET

 

INTRODUCTION

Around the same moment as big miners are investigating hydrogen-powered equipment, several state and territorial governments are attempting to substitute ageing public transportation with zero – emissions options as part of significant pledges to attain net zero emissions.

 

 

The NSW government has set a goal of replacing its entire 8000-strong diesel bus fleet with zero-emission automobiles by 2030, with the vast majority being manufactured in Australia. Hitachi is supplying the bus charging equipment for Brisbane City Council’s new fleet of 60 all electric, high-capacity Brisbane vehicles.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The advancement of effective transport systems and an increase in public transportation, with electric and hybrid buses likely to be used for optimal performance. Furthermore, improved miles per charge, reduced charging time, and an expanding number of charging stations around the region are all contributing to an increase in electric bus sales.

 

Furthermore, expanding urbanisation and pollution levels, which contribute to global warming, are important issues, prompting the country’s government to place a strong emphasis on the widespread usage of electric buses. 

 

Kinetic is a leading mobiliser of the various explorer oriented electric vehicle manufacturer requirements in the market. From early May and June 2022, Kinetic-owned Sunbus will deploy five new buses on the Sunshine Coast and Cairns, respectively, while sister business Surfside

 

Buslines will deliver ten new electric buses on the Gold Coast from late June 2022. We have gained tremendous knowledge, IP, and an advanced path to deploying zero emission buses through comprehensive testing and installation of vehicles and infrastructure across nine sites.

 

Nexport has been one of the most advanced solution provider in the electric bus requirements. The Electric city buses with lengths of 9.7 metres, 11.6 metres, and 12.5 metres are available. Nexport anticipates the first buses hitting Australian roads in early 2022, with bulk manufacturing ramping up by the end of the year.

 

The ADL product suite brings important technology and technologies derived from large-scale Electric Bus deployments across Europe to Australian bus operators. Within a network of energy, charging, and technology firms, with complementary training for drivers, mechanics, and operational teams to make the most of the vehicles.
