A report by the German Institute for Economic Research, in collaboration with other institutes, highlights the increasing market share and efficiency of battery-electric trucks as the preferred option for reducing emissions in freight transport. While battery-electric trucks are gaining momentum, hydrogen fuel cell models remain scarce in Germany. The study emphasizes that the transition to electric mobility is slower for trucks than for cars, with only 2.3 percent of German trucks being battery-powered. The report recommends continued support for fast-charging points for trucks and discourages investment in hydrogen technology due to its inefficiency and energy-intensive production process. Suggestions include revising greenhouse gas reduction quota regulations to reflect the efficiency gap between battery-electric and hydrogen-powered trucks. With sufficient investment in charging infrastructure, it is projected that all new trucks registered in Germany could be battery-electric by 2035. Industry stakeholders call for 4,000 fast-charging points by 2030 to support this transition. However, environmental organizations criticize the focus on road infrastructure over rail, which they argue is a more sustainable option for reducing emissions in freight transport. Overall, the report emphasizes the need for government support and proactive communication to drive the adoption of battery-electric trucks in the freight transport sector.
