Europe Electric Truck Market: 2024 Review & 2025 Outlook
The Europe electric truck market is expanding rapidly as climate policies tighten and the transport sector shifts toward zero-emission vehicles. In 2024, the European Union’s updated CO₂ regulations for heavy-duty vehicles accelerated this transition. Manufacturers must now cut emissions by 45% by 2030, 65% by 2035, and 90% by 2040, compared to 2019 levels.
As a result, both OEMs and fleet operators are moving quickly to electrify their fleets. In 2024, approximately 3,400 new zero-emission trucks (ZETs) were registered across Europe — a 42% increase compared to 2023, according to data from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). Despite this growth, ZETs still accounted for just 1.2% of all new truck registrations, indicating massive potential for future growth.
Top Markets for Europe Electric Truck Adoption
Countries leading the Europe electric truck transition include Germany, France, and the Netherlands — together, they made up nearly 90% of all new ZET registrations in 2024. Adoption rates by country:
Netherlands: 6.5% of new truck registrations were electric
Sweden: 3.6%
Germany: 2.4%
France: 2.2%
In terms of manufacturers, Volvo, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz led the market. Volvo’s electric truck registrations alone grew by 51% year-over-year.
Cost Trends and Charging Infrastructure
Although electric trucks still carry a higher upfront cost than diesel models, prices are gradually falling. The newly released Mercedes-Benz eActros 600, featuring a 600 kWh battery and a driving range of over 500 km, is now priced below €300,000.
To further support growth in the Europe electric truck segment:
Several EU countries offer purchase incentives for zero-emission trucks.
In Germany, CO₂-based road tolls now apply to diesel trucks, while zero-emission trucks are exempt from tolls for five years.
However, the lack of charging infrastructure remains a major barrier. By 2030, Europe will need around 900,000 private depot chargers for electric trucks, requiring an estimated €20 billion in investment.
Sustainability Regulations Accelerate Demand
The new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) also plays a key role. Large companies are now required to disclose full-scope emissions, including transportation emissions from logistics partners. This creates additional pressure on fleet operators to switch to zero-emission vehicles.
What’s Next for the Europe Electric Truck Market in 2025?
The Europe electric truck industry is expected to keep growing in 2025, driven by:
More vehicle model launches from major OEMs
Falling battery and production costs
New government support policies
Increased pressure from corporate emission targets
Collaboration between governments, manufacturers, and logistics companies will be essential to scaling infrastructure and reducing total cost of ownership. The journey to a greener freight future has begun — and Europe is leading the way.
