Segment Analysis

By Vehicle Type: E-Commerce Fuels Van Electrification

Heavy-duty trucks, despite a 42.15% 2025 volume share, shoulder payload and range constraints that keep diesel dominant until megawatt chargers proliferate. Medium-duty units await infrastructure clarity, while buses depend on municipal budgets and political cycles. Pick-up trucks remain mostly gasoline in rural North America, although pilot fleets featuring Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian variants signal an early transition in utilities and construction. Light commercial vans grew fastest, propelled by parcel density and city-center emission rules. Vans require 150-200 kWh packs—less than those of heavy-duty trucks—supporting three-year payback horizons even before fuel levies. The commercial vehicles market size for light vans is set to expand at a 6.24% CAGR, outpacing bus and medium-duty segments.

European zero-emission zones accelerate van adoption by banning diesel deliveries during peak hours, and subsidies shorten payback in urban operations. North America’s longer routes retain diesel dominance, yet pilot data suggest depot charging can sustain daily range needs. Heavy-duty truck growth hinges on battery-cost curves and corridor charging funding, meaning vans will be the workhorse of commercial vehicles market expansion through 2031.

By Propulsion Type: ICE Dominance Masks Rapid EV Gains

Internal-combustion engines kept 69.03% of 2025 revenue, but hybrid and electric variants log an 8.33% CAGR, signaling structural rebalancing. Battery-electric leads electrification, while plug-in hybrids bridge infrastructure gaps for cautious fleets. Diesel engines face nickel-moly inflation and regulatory complexity, eroding cost advantages. CNG persists in refuse and transit fleets with central refueling, yet growth stays modest as electric TCO declines. Gasoline and LPG fade under urban restrictions.

Battery-electric uptake varies by region: China and Europe advance fastest via subsidies and access rules; North America electrifies urban delivery while preserving diesel for long haul; emerging markets delay until chargers proliferate. Fuel-cell pilots progress for long-range duty cycles, but high hydrogen costs stall scale-up. The propulsion mix through 2031 will pivot on policy timing and battery-density milestones, reshaping supply chains in the commercial vehicles market.

By Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Class 2 Gains from Urban Logistics

Class 5 vehicles held 45.22% of the 2025 share, underpinning heavy-haul and construction segments. Yet Class 2 vehicles, critical for city logistics, are projected to post a 7.21% CAGR, the fastest among weight classes. Lower battery capacities keep purchase prices manageable, and EU weight exemptions protect payloads when batteries add mass. Class 4 faces a transitional void: too heavy for affordable batteries, too light for hydrogen economics, restraining electrification. Class 3 benefits from depot charging, while Class 1 pick-ups watch consumer demand before committing to full electric.

North America's absence of weight exemptions hampers payload-neutral electrification, whereas China’s battery-swap model anchors growth in the heavier Class 5. The trajectory underscores that urban logistics will dictate weight-class evolution inside the commercial vehicles market.

By End-Use Industry: Logistics Leads, Construction Lags

Logistics and e-commerce operators owned 38.13% of the 2025 demand and will grow 5.81% annually, supported by high utilization and corporate carbon pledges. Construction and mining fleets grapple with rugged duty cycles and remote sites, delaying electric adoption despite surging diesel costs. Public-transport electrification delivered early wins in China and Europe but moves more slowly elsewhere as procurement budgets tighten. Utilities and municipal services adopt electric trucks to meet noise and emission rules, yet fleet sizes limit aggregate growth.

Logistics vans are utilized extensively throughout the year, optimizing fuel savings, whereas construction trucks often remain idle between projects. This divergence, rooted in utilization economics, is further accentuated by policy incentives, positioning logistics as the dominant force driving demand in the commercial vehicles market over the forecast period.

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific generated 46.25% of global revenue in 2025 and will post a 7.74% CAGR, the highest worldwide. China leads with 1.2 million electric commercial vehicles produced by BYD, SAIC, and Foton, benefiting from purchase-tax waivers and battery-swap corridors. India’s FAME-II extensions spur light-duty electrification in top metros, while Japan and South Korea double down on hydrogen heavy-duty pilots. Southeast Asia attracts Chinese assembly plants, yet slower infrastructure roll-outs limit penetration.

Europe advances on the strength of Germany’s significant charger fund and expanding zero-emission zones [3]“Charging Infrastructure Master Plan II,” German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, bmvd.de. France and the United Kingdom restrict diesel van access to city centers, boosting van electrification but straining urban grids. Southern Europe trails in infrastructure and fiscal leeway, though incentives through 2026 aim to narrow the gap. Russia remains mostly diesel amid sanctions, and harsh winters degrade battery efficiency.

North America is bifurcated: California and the Northeast push zero-emission mandates, while the Midwest keeps diesel for long haul. Canada’s federal rebates spark adoption in Ontario and Quebec, yet rural distances mute impact. Brazil and Argentina pilot electric buses, but most freight stays diesel until charging costs fall. The Middle East and Africa show early interest in logistics free zones, but oil economies and nascent infrastructure delay meaningful share shifts. Collectively, Asia-Pacific and Europe will drive the commercial vehicles market expansion, while North America and emerging regions catch up post-2028.

Market Definition

  • Vehicle Type - The category covers light, medium, and heavy duty commercial vehicle.
  • Vehicle Body Type - This includes Light Commercial Pick-up Trucks, Light Commercial Vans, Medium-duty Commercial Trucks, Heavy-duty Commercial Trucks, and Medium and Heavy Duty Buses.
  • Fuel Category - The category includes various fuel types such as Gasoline, Diesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles), BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles), and FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles)
KeywordDefinition
Electric Vehicle (EV)A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEVA BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEVA plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EVA vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engineAn engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EVA vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial VehiclesCommercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger VehiclesPassenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial VehiclesCommercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDTCommercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
BusA mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
DieselIt includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
GasolineIt includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPGIt includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNGIt includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEVAll the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEVPHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
HatchbackThese are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
SedanThese are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUVPopularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
MPVThese are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
