Electric buses employ a variety of batteries. Low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries are increasingly used in electric buses. Batteries made of lithium-ion phosphate are both cost-effective and robust. The average price of these batteries is a significant benefit for automakers. Due to their speed, safety, and excellent thermal stability, lithium-ion phosphate batteries have seen a phenomenal increase in sales in recent years. To meet the growing demand for longer drives, market participants are implementing technical improvements to improve the operational efficiency of batteries. This will increase electric bus sales. Electric bus manufacturers are always trying to improve efficiency and increase the range of their vehicles. Furthermore, the production of high-density nickel, manganese, and cobalt (NMC) batteries is subject to significant intellectual property rights. Moreover, LFP batteries avoid the risk of litigation and simultaneously promote domestic battery suppliers over competitors such as LG Chem and Samsung. Thus, the rising production of low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries is expected to drive the demand for electric buses across the region.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South America electric bus market. The South America electric bus market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
