Share of xEVs in heavy truck sales in Europe
- While the market share in Europe for electrified passenger cars (PCs), or xEVs (BEV + HEV + PHEV), reached 15.3% of the total market in 2020, broken down into 6.2% for BEVs, 5,2% for PHEVs and 3.9% for HEVs, the share of these alternative engines is completely different for heavy goods vehicles (HUV).
- In 2020, the share of xEVs in the heavy trucks market did not exceed 0.5%, divided into 0.4% BEV and 0.1% HEV-PHEV, while 2.9% of engines ran on natural gas. This proportion of electrified engines in the heavy goods vehicle category is the lowest among all vehicles (passenger cars, LUVs, heavy trucks, coaches and buses). In 2019, the share of electrified engines + natural gas had not reached 3%.
- The diesel engine still represents the vast majority of engines equipping heavy trucks, reaching 96.5% of the market share in 2020. The gasoline engine remains extremely marginal as it does not exceed 0.1% of the market share.
- Compared to 2019, the number of BEVs (1,240 units) increased by 60.8%, HEV-PHEVs (159 units) by 40.4%, while the number of diesel (274,558 units) decreased by 26,6% but remains predominant, gasoline engines (213 units) declined 12.3%, while natural gas engines (7,239 units) decreased by 5.1%. The European heavy trucks market represented 283,409 units in 2020 against 382,418 units in 2019.
