Electric Shuttle Market Report

The global electric shuttle market is prophesied to create substantial growth opportunities due to important factors such as strong government support, availability of tax benefits and incentives, and growing awareness about greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing need to improve air quality, technological advancement, and growing focus on developing transportation systems could be other crucial factors driving the demand for electric shuttle. In June 2019, it was announced that Australian public transport company Transit Systems will run a couple of BYD electric shuttles in Sydney on behalf of Transport NSW. The electric shuttles will be operated as part of a trial to reduce noise and replace diesel shuttles with a zero emissions alternative in the city.

Advantage of Zero Carbon Dioxide Emission to Increase Demand

Global demand for electric shuttle is foretold to see a rise as a result of increasing implementation of government policies and regulations that stress on reducing emission levels. Electric shuttle manufacturers promising zero carbon dioxide emission are expected to attract a high number of end users. Rising air pollution levels and increasing need to reduce crude oil imports could be other factors strengthening the growth of the global electric shuttle market. Furthermore, electric shuttle offers several advantages such as low maintenance and less noise. High demand for long-term cost and environmental benefits in the public transport sector is also expected to push the global market growth to the next level.
