The report analyzed the electric truck market, providing insights into battery electric trucks (BEV), plug-in hybrid trucks (PHEV), and fuel cell trucks (FCEV) for medium and heavy-duty applications, alongside battery technologies (LFP, NMC), charging infrastructure, and hydrogen internal combustion engines. With a focus on key regions like Europe, China, and the US, the analysis included market forecasts, battery demand, and the impact of solutions like natural gas on CO2 emissions. Governments globally are updating emissions standards for trucks to achieve net-zero emissions targets, with the EU and US setting specific reduction goals for truck manufacturers. Chinese OEMs currently dominate the electric truck market, with strong growth in heavy-duty electric truck sales. However, challenges remain in the industry, such as long duty cycles, high payload requirements, and limited charging infrastructure. Fuel cell trucks present a potential solution with advantages like lighter weight and quicker refueling, but their adoption is hindered by high costs and the lack of green hydrogen supply. The ongoing shift towards renewable energy sources raises questions about the most efficient use of electricity for transport, favoring battery-electric trucks over green hydrogen production.
