Volvo's Role in the Electric Bus Market

Volvo is considering entering China's growing electric bus market to address environmental issues and collaborate with China's policies. China has over 1 billion people, most using buses, and plans to replace gasoline buses with electric ones. Volvo could become a leader in electric buses and capitalize on China's large market and government support for electric vehicles. Applying a true cost analysis, electric buses provide the lowest total ownership costs. Volvo already sells over 300,000 vehicles annually in China, whose market is growing.
