The world sees global electrification of buses coming!

According to the forecast of Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), 47% of buses in the world will be electric up to 2025, meanwhile in China this figure will amount to 99 %.
The Chinese Shenzhen where 16.3 thousand items of electric transport are on route daily has become the pioneer in complete change of public buses to electric buses.

According to the analysts, up to 2025 the world fleet of electric buses will grow threefold: from 386 thousand up to 1.2 million items. Currently their production is three times more expensive than regular buses powered by natural gas or diesel fuel, but taking into consideration the maintenance costs, electric transport is already more profitable. Given that the price on accumulators keeps on reducing year by year, electric buses are becoming a more and more interesting solution for implementing as public city transport.

In the coming years Paris and Amsterdam will be transitioning to environmentally friendly electric buses and in London this transport can already be seen on the city roads. Norway has also ordered a batch of Volvo electric buses and the city authorities in Los Angeles are planning to switch to electric transport by 2030 dropping regular buses. In New York, New Flyer и Proterra electric buses are undergoing testing and if they demonstrate successful operation, the city authorities will purchase a large batch for the megalopolis needs.

The portfolio of the project "Duyunov's motors" has successful experience of implementing the "Slavyanka" technology for city electric transport. In the framework of partnership with Kiev trolleybus fleet, the LAZ trolleybus was equipped with a modernized combined winding motor. The fleet specialists noted down the motor power increase alongside reduced consumption of electricity, which had a positive effect on the economic efficiency of the trolleybus operation.

Expanding the potential market of "Slavyanka" implementation on a global scale means growth in Duyunov's technology demand and proves that the company's plans to build its own design and engineering department are well-timed.
