Key Market Trends

Hybrid and Electric Heavy-duty Trucks to Have Positive Impact on the Market

The high market growth in the hybrid electric segment will be driven by the stringent emission norms established by the governments. The European Commission (EC) is also developing new software solutions to determine fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In response to these policy changes across North America and Europe, the market players are introducing new models of hybrid electric and fully electric heavy-duty trucks. 

North America, India, and Japan are some of the prominent regions saw positive sales for electric trucks in coming years owing to the expanding infrastructure and constantly growing need of freight loading. However, most countries across the globe in 2019 have witnessed decline in truck sales owing to the slowdown in economy, which was further continued during 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Companies, such as Tesla, BYD, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz have launched electric truck model to replace the diesel and gasoline powered models in few coming years. For instance,

  •  In January 2022, Volvo Truks launched Volvo VNR electric truck with longer range. Volvo VNR Electric had an operating range of up to 240 km (150 miles). Now an enhanced version of the class 8* electric truck is launched, with an operational range of up to 440 km (275 miles) and increased energy storage of up to 565kWh. The improved performance is due to, among other things, improved battery design and a new six battery package option.

With the shifting preferences of customers, development of charging infrastructure, availability of fast-charging station and the subsidiary benefits on electric vehicles over conventional internal combustion engine trucks, the demand for electric trucks for freight operation is expected to grow, and the market may experience an exponential upward trajectory during the projection period.

The state governments in the India are including electric buses in their fleet in order to convert their ICE fleet of buses and reduce the operational cost while also reducing carbon emissions and improving the air quality. For instance,

  • In March 2021, the Delhi government approved a proposal to procure 300 new low-floor electric (AC) buses to increase the number of buses in the city. The upcoming buses will be inducted into the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). The first lot of 118 buses will arrive in October this year, while November will see an addition of 100 buses.
