Electric Truck Global Market Report 2025

An electric truck is a large, motorized vehicle designed for transporting goods, primarily powered by rechargeable batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, or a hybrid system combining batteries and an internal combustion engine.

The main categories of electric trucks include light-duty electric trucks, medium-duty electric trucks, and heavy-duty electric trucks. Light-duty electric trucks have a gross vehicle weight of up to 8,500 pounds (3,855 kg) and payload capacities of up to 4,000 pounds (1,815 kg). These trucks may use battery electric, hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric propulsion, offering a range of up to 150 miles, 151-300 miles, or above 300 miles. Electric trucks find applications across various sectors, including last-mile delivery, long-haul transportation, refuse services, field services, and distribution services.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.

The electric truck market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides electric truck market statistics, including the electric truck industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an electric truck market share, detailed electric truck market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the electric truck industry. This electric truck market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The electric truck market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.99 billion in 2024 to $5.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 47.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, increasing demand for light-duty trucks, rising penetration of e-commerce, and reduced cost of EV batteries.

The electric truck market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing fuel prices, rising government support, and growing and charging infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include the use of augmented reality (AR) technology for real-time information, increasing product launches with a focus on medium-duty applications and long-range, increasing investments for expansion of manufacturing capabilities, and focus on strategic partnerships and collaborations for expanding product portfolio and geographic presence.

The forecast of 45.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 1.0% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on heavy-duty EV platforms, cooling systems, and battery enclosures imported from China and South Korea, increasing upfront costs for logistics and fleet operators.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

Government incentives and initiatives are projected to stimulate the growth of the electric truck market. Authorities worldwide are implementing innovative policies and incentive schemes to promote the adoption of electric vehicles across all categories, including bikes, autos, cars, and commercial vehicles. Key policies currently driving EV adoption include substantial financial incentives for purchasing light-duty vehicles (LDVs), subsidies for initial purchases, vehicle purchase rebates, and tax reductions on registration, all aimed at curbing pollution and fostering a healthier environment. For example, in October 2023, the UK government announced a £246 million investment to expedite the deployment of zero-emission trucks and encourage innovation in the freight sector. This funding will support four green initiatives aimed at introducing up to 370 zero-emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and establishing around 57 refueling and electric charging stations. This initiative, part of the zero-emission HGV and infrastructure demonstrator program, aims to reduce transport emissions-which currently account for 20% of the UK's total-while creating new jobs and facilitating the transition to net-zero road freight.

Rising fuel prices are anticipated to propel the growth of the electric truck market. As the costs of traditional fuels continue to rise, businesses are increasingly looking for alternatives that provide both economic and environmental advantages. Electric trucks offer a compelling solution, as they entail lower operating costs and decreased reliance on fossil fuels, making them a sustainable and cost-effective transportation choice. For instance, in August 2022, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that from January to June 2022, the price of regular motor gasoline increased by 49%, while the cost of diesel fuel saw a slightly higher rise of 55%. Therefore, the escalation in conventional fuel prices is driving demand for electric trucks.

The prominent trend shaping the electric truck sector is the development of self-driving electric trucks. Companies within this sector are actively engaging in partnerships with technology-based firms to enhance their efforts in creating innovative models equipped with self-driving capabilities. A noteworthy example is Pininfarina, an Italy-based design company under Mahindra's ownership, collaborating with Deppway, a subsidiary of Baidu, to produce an electric semi-truck featuring a self-drive system. This advanced system incorporates 11 cameras, an infrared detector, radars, and LIDAR sensors to enable autonomous driving capabilities.

Companies in the electric truck market are strategically focused on introducing new products, with a specific emphasis on medium-duty applications and extended range capabilities. The launch of such electric trucks is designed to meet the demands of commercial fleets, logistics companies, and other stakeholders seeking sustainable transportation solutions. In August 2023, Motiv Power Systems, a US-based company specializing in medium-duty commercial all-electric trucks and buses, unveiled the Argo Series, a new medium-duty electric truck tailored for various applications in Class 4-6, including box trucks, step vans, shuttle buses, and more. The Argo electric truck aims to provide a zero-emission solution for medium-duty applications.

In September 2022, Mullen Automotive, a US-based electric vehicle (EV) truck company, acquired Bollinger Motors for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition resulted in Mullen holding a majority stake in Bollinger. The strategic move aims to strengthen both companies' positions in the rapidly growing markets for electric sport utility and commercial vehicles. Bollinger Motors is recognized as an electric truck manufacturer.
