Incentives to purchase electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs), trucks, and buses—such as subsidies, tax cuts, or even penalties on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles—can significantly make electric vehicles (EVs) attractive to fleets by considerably lowering the acquisition cost. Incentives also give original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) producing EVs a boost to invest more in the EV ecosystem to increase their production scale, which eventually will contribute to lower costs.
Fleets need to consider the total cost of ownership when acquiring alternative powertrain vehicles. They must pursue incentives that will bring down costs even further. Supplier-side credits and carbon taxes on OEMs will be key drivers in increasing the production of clean energy vehicles, especially commercial vehicles that make up the majority of carbon emissions in the transportation industry.
Government-issued incentives to establish EV charging infrastructure will support the expansion and scaling of both public and depot-based charging, as well as the proliferation of EVs. Setting up charging infrastructure involves a greater ecosystem comprised of diverse players, including charging equipment manufacturers, charge point operators, fleet and charging software companies, and energy utilities.
Fleets are more incentivized to adopt electric LCVs, trucks, and buses when they have added support to set up charging infrastructure. A lot of OEMs are also offering additional services on this front by linking up with charging equipment manufacturers and utility companies. Many new companies have entered the electric charging infrastructure space, either through equipment or software, which increases the scope of participation and value created.
The study period is 2024–2035, with 2024 as the base year and 2025–2035 as the forecast period. Market segments analyzed are medium and heavy-duty (MD/HD) trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) >6 tonnes (t), buses with a GVWR >6 t, and LCVs with a GVWR <6 t. Regions covered include Europe, North America, China, India, ASEAN, and Latin America.
