Projected adoption rates of new-energy heavy-duty trucks in Europe 2030
Heavy-duty trucks are projected to have an overall adoption rate for long-haul freight transport of around ** percent in Europe in 2030. Liquefied natural gas is predicted to record the highest demand, with a rate of percent, while battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are tipped to record rates just under that threshold. Demand for alternative fuel heavy commercial vehicles for special uses is expected to be similar to the demand for long-haul traffic. Out of all the weight classes, heavy-duty vehicles are the category with the lowest projected adoption rate.
