| Abstract | This report is an analytic paper addressing the trend toward entry into the U.S. transit bus market by new foreign manufacturers. The purpose of this study is to provide an explanation, and outline the implications of why so many companies are interested in entering the U.S. bus manufacturing industry, when there is no excess capacity, and the established manufacturers are not prospering. The study is concerned primarily with the industry that builds standard and large-capacity transit buses. The explanation developed for the emerging interest in the U.S. bus manufacturing industry consists of three categories of causes: opportunity, impetus, and contributing factors. |
