The E-bus is here: Municipalities want to rapidly expand their electric bus fleets
Buses with electric drives will soon become the standard in local transport. Continental is involved in this future market, with the technology company developing many of the special components required.
When it comes to electric mobility, the focus is on cars and trucks, with little attention paid to a third sector: electrically powered buses for local public transport. Yet this vehicle segment is set to undergo a profound transformation in the coming years. Demand for electric buses has already increased enormously in order to help mitigate climate change and meet legal requirements. These large electric vehicles require special components, which Continental is developing.
