Phase-out targets: Buses
The map displays official phase-out targets set by national and sub-national governments to end the sale, registration, or procurement of medium- and heavy-duty internal combustion engine (ICE) buses. Target dates are indicated by color. We update these maps quarterly. (Current status: March 2022)
As of March 2022, ten governments have set an official target for 100% ICE bus phase-outs, by 2035 for new bus sales, and in some cases by 2050 for the entirety of the fleet.
