Coach buses are becoming equipped with electric and hybrid propulsion systems because of government emissions-reduction laws and environmental concerns. As opposed to conventional diesel-powered buses, electric buses provide quieter operation, fewer running expenses, and less environmental impact. Major coach bus manufacturers are integrating their supply chains and production facilities according to the demand for electric buses. For instance, in April 2024, VDL opened a 27,000 sq. m. facility in Belgium. The facility with an annual production capacity of 340 coach bus units is expected to open for delivery by the end of 2024.
With entertainment systems, passenger information screens, and onboard Wi-Fi, coach buses are becoming increasingly digitally connected. The passenger experience is improved by integrated digital platforms, which enable access to entertainment options, travel information, and onboard services.
