"Italy registered 1,044 battery-electric buses in the first eleven months of 2025, reports our sister media Autobusweb based on data by ANFIA. They represent a 63.4% increase over 2024 and account for nearly 29% of all bus and coach registrations over 8 ton. From January to November, 3,629 buses above 8 tonnes were registered, down 11.8% year-on-year, yet the performance of the electric segment more than offsets the decline in other propulsion categories, reshaping procurement dynamics, especially in Class I fleets."
"Within the urban Class I category-long the primary arena for technological innovation-electrification has now become the dominant choice: 1,017 of the 1,590 new Class I buses are electric. This 64% penetration rate marks a structural shift in procurement criteria. Iveco Bus remains the clear national leader, with 343 electric registrations equal to 32.9% of the BEV market. King Long emerges as the second strongest BEV player with 152 units (14.6%), followed closely by Karsan at 140 units (13.4%)."
