Market Overview
The Global Electric Commercial Vehicle Market was valued at USD 52.99 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 252.97 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 29.73% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic struck the market and brought challenges to the whole automotive industry. Lockdowns in many nations limited the sales of vehicles across the globe and disrupted the entire supply chain. Affected by COVID-19, the global electric commercial vehicle market is attracting growing attention to its post-pandemic industry trends. It is expected the industry would pick up the pace gradually in the coming years, with companies gaining momentum by economic growth.
Due to tremendous growth among sectors like logistics and supply chain industries, the adoption of electric vehicles is quite evident in many emerging markets. Adding to that, the stringent emission norms in the countries worldwide pushing many companies to electrify the vehicles also play a crucial role in the market's growth.
The advancements in battery technology and the use of the latest technologies like ADAS, AI, IoT, etc., are fuelling the market's growth. Major players are heavily investing in bringing the latest features to their vehicles, increasing competition between OEMs and helping the market grow. As many nations are trying to adopt electric mobility, the major concern is charging infrastructures to hold the pressure from new vehicles entering the market.
Most of the countries are trying to go electric by 2050 to reduce their traffic-related emissions. Some countries, such as the United States, Canada, China, Japan, and India, have already introduced thresholds for commercial vehicles. The government regulations, financial incentives towards electric vehicles, and the quick establishment of infrastructure supporting EVs can boost the market during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends
High Initial Cost and Battery Concerns are Hindering the Growth of the Electric Commercial Vehicle Market
Currently, the biggest issue market is facing is the initial capital for EV's. Electric vehicles are expensive as lithium-ion batteries are being used instead of lead-acid batteries. Though lead-acid batteries are cheaper, the environmental risk factors are forcing manufacturers towards lithium-ion batteries though they are expensive but eco-friendly. Lithium-ion batteries are also proven to increase efficiency and performance during the long run, the reason many companies are opting for them.
The major portion of the price of electric trucks is owed to their battery packs. The average price per usable kilowatt of a Li-ion battery for an electronic powertrain ranges from USD 900 to 1,250. The battery of the electric vehicle makes up the largest portion of the vehicle's cost. The cost of the battery makes an electric truck fleet cost much more than a diesel truck fleet, increasing the investment amount by a huge margin. A regular diesel-powered truck costs approximately USD 400,000- 500,000. However, a diesel-electric hybrid truck costs about USD 800,000.
In addition to the battery cost, the time taken to charge an electric truck battery, combined with a limited number of charging stations, can also hinder the growth of the market.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Lead the Market
The electric commercial vehicle market is expected to be led by Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe and North America. In 2019, the electric commercial vehicle market share in the world's largest auto market, China, increased from 4.5% to 4.7%, even after a significant trimming of incentives. The EV market share increase comes at an 8.4% fall in sales of combustion vehicles (26.82 million in 2018 to 24.56 million in 2019), with EV sales remaining relatively safe (1.26 million trimmed to 1.21 million).
In Asia-Pacific, China accounted for the largest revenue share of over 80% in 2020. China is also far ahead when it comes to the use of electric buses: The region is expected to hold a dominant revenue share throughout the forecast period owing to the presence of major companies such as Dongfeng, BYD Auto, Daimler AG, FAW Group, etc. There are around 385,000 e-buses on the road worldwide, 99% of them in China.
Despite the number of sales, the European market is noted for greater access to electric truck charging points. Europe's electric trucking industry is likely to advance rapidly after the EU plans to cut tolls by 50% for emission-free trucks until April 2023. The EU's decision to cut tolls comes as an aid for private investments in electric trucks. European Union has also set the target to achieve 40% greenhouse gas reduction by 2040. Major players such as Volvo and Daimler are already offering a wider range of heavy-duty vehicles to industries by selling a complete range of battery-electric trucks for distribution in Europe.
