"In 2025, the Netherlands counted 2,748 zero-emission buses in operation (+853 on 2024), with electric buses accounting for 26% of all bus kilometres driven. At the same time, the share of diesel fell to 65% (from 69), according to CROW's latest monitoring of public transport fleets. Still according to CROW's researches, the country exceeded 1,000 units in operation as of 2020."
"Beyond the confirmed fleet size, the organization also outlines an expected development path for the remainder of the decade. The total zero-emission bus fleet is projected to rise from 2,748 units in 2025 to around 4,188 in 2026, 4,444 in 2027 and 5,134 by 2030. CROW presents these figures explicitly as projections rather than committed deliveries, reflecting assumptions about concession renewals and planned fleet replacements."
In 2025 the Netherlands operated 2,748 zero-emission buses, an increase of 853 from 2024, with electric buses accounting for 26% of all bus kilometres and diesel falling to 65%. The zero-emission fleet exceeded 1,000 units in 2020. Electric buses constituted more than half of new registrations in the first three quarters of last year in one of five countries. Between 2018 and 2024 diesel share declined from 87% to 65%, electric rose from 4% to 26%, gas held about 8% in 2024, and hydrogen remained marginal. Major operators Keolis, EBS, Qbuzz, Arriva and Transdev concentrate the fleet. VDL supplies 1,084 buses, leading manufacturers.
