In September 2026, China exported 1,950 new energy buses (over 3.5 metres in length), representing a year-on-year increase of 25.97% but a month-on-month decline of 8.54%. The solid year-on-year growth confirms continued strong momentum for Chinese new energy bus exports. The month-on-month drop is mainly attributed to delivery schedules and domestic holidays. The long-term upward trend for China's new energy bus exports remains intact.
