Projected adoption rates of new-energy light-duty trucks in Europe 2030
Battery electric vans are projected to become the most in-demand new-powertrain light commercial vehicles in Europe by 2030 with an adoption rate of 40 percent in-town. This trend is expected to benefit from the accessibility of charging infrastructure for these units. The segment dwarfs liquefied natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, both having adoption rates of one and four percent, respectively. A similar scenario is predicted for inter-city traffic. Battery electric vehicles have an adoption rate three quarters lower than for in-town traffic due to the longer distances traveled, but still have the highest adoption rate.
