About
Market Development and Demand for zero-emission coaches – focus on French market.
The French coach fleet represents twice as many vehicles as the bus fleet. Yet less than a hundred zero-emission coaches were in operation early 2022 in France. Based on this observation, France Hydrogène Mobilité, the group dedicated to road mobility within the France Hydrogène association, and AVERE-France, the national association for the development of electromobility, have decided to join forces to investigate the demand for zero-emission coaches in France while analysing the complementarity between battery electric and hydrogen electric coaches. A report was therefore developed to identify the requirements of operators, the objectives of the transition and the technical solutions that are being developed. The common objective of these two associations is to support and accelerate the deployment of battery electric and hydrogen electric coaches in France.
