The Europe trolley bus market is set for steady growth, projected to reach USD 1,053.7 million by 2035, driven by urban sustainability initiatives and growing demand for low-emission public transport. With European cities accelerating efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, trolley buses are emerging as an effective and flexible solution, utilizing existing electric infrastructure and new dual-mode technologies.

Trolley buses offer significant operational advantages. Their dual power systems, combining overhead electric supply with onboard battery accumulators, provide greater flexibility compared to conventional diesel or CNG buses. This hybrid capability enables cities to extend routes beyond wired infrastructure while maintaining cost efficiency and sustainability, making trolley buses a preferred choice for high-density urban and suburban transit networks.
