Sustainable Bus Tour 2024 starts with a session at NME

Public transport is currently experiencing profound shifts in its operational and financial landscapes, driven by a convergence of factors including evolving consumer preferences, technological advancements, and environmental imperatives.

One notable trend is the increasing internationalization of the sector at the operators’ level, as major PTOs expand their operations beyond traditional boundaries to explore new markets on a global scale.

Simultaneously, macro-level developments such as electrification and the rise of on-demand transportation are fundamentally reshaping traditional business models, compelling operators to embrace innovation and adaptability. This dynamic landscape presents both challenges and opportunities for industry players, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component providers, who must navigate significant investments amidst evolving technology and emissions standards
