Electric Trucks Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Truck Type (Light-duty Trucks, Medium-duty Trucks, Heavy-duty Trucks), By Electric Vehicle Type (Battery-Electric, Hybrid Electric, Plug-in Hybrid), By Application (Logistics, Municipal)and Regional Forecast, 2021-2028

Increasing demand in the long-haul transportation sector has given boosted vehicle production across the globe. However, marginal fuel-efficiency improvement of new trucks is increasing the share of greenhouse gas emissions. Stringent government regulations to curb emissions have compelled manufacturers to invest heavily in the adoption of fuel-efficient vehicles. A consistent rise in transportation emissions and increased pollution levels in urban cities is expected to increase the adoption of electric trucks over the forecast period. The electric truck is an e-mobility vehicle powered by an electric motor that receives energy via onboard batteries powered by the electric grid or charging stations. Electric trucks create low or zero emissions, which helps to curb global carbon footprint coupled with reduced noise and vibrations compared to conventional fuel-powered trucks. Increased demand for high power electric trucks in developing countries owing to high population levels is projected to boost the electric truck market during the forecast period. Rising fuel prices, global warming, and air pollution, along with government incentives for the purchase of electric trucks, are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
