China Leads the Global Bus Business

Although western European bus manufacturing is still the driving force in the global bus business, China is now ahead on volume according to the latest news published by Truck & Bus Builder Reports Limited. Analysts believe that the Chinese manufacturing pace has quickened because they are now using European standards for bus building and operation.

The report also claims that in India, the two leading domestic bus makers, Tata and Ashok Leyland, are involved in a Government-led transport programme, which “could transform the whole of the Indian sub-continent in terms of public transport.” The report details production and registration data for the main bus building countries and carries market forecast figures for the next five years.
