Zero Emission Vehicle Market Report 2026

The zero emission vehicle market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $334.9 billion in 2025 to $408.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emission regulations, early ev adoption, fuel price volatility, government subsidies, urban air pollution.

The zero emission vehicle market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $923.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle cost reduction, charging network expansion, battery technology advancements, zero emission mandates, fleet electrification. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of battery electric vehicles, expansion of charging infrastructure, growth of fuel cell vehicles, rising government incentives, oem electrification strategies.

The increasing climatic change is expected to boost the growth of the zero-emission vehicle market going forward. Climate change involves enduring modifications in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and various elements of the Earth's climate system over an extended period. As the urgency to combat climate change intensifies, zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) are increasingly seen as a critical weapon, as it reduces transportation-related CO2 emissions, helping to curb global warming and its devastating effects. For instance, in October 2023, according to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, about 3.6 billion individuals reside in regions highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change by 2023. It is projected that from 2030 to 2050, climate change will lead to an estimated annual increase of approximately 250,000 deaths due to factors such as undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. Therefore, increasing climatic change is driving the growth of the zero-emission vehicle market.

Major companies operating in the zero-emission vehicle market are emphasizing the development of innovative offerings, such as fully electric commercial trucks with configurable body styles and advanced powertrain technologies, to improve operational flexibility and sustainability compared with conventional diesel trucks. These vehicles incorporate modular architectures, multiple drivetrain configurations, and high-capacity battery systems, allowing extended driving ranges and performance optimization for specific use cases. For instance, in May 2023, Daimler Truck AG, a Germany-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, introduced the RIZON range of zero-emission electric trucks. The RIZON models are available in various configurations, including dry vans, flatbeds, landscaping dump bodies, and refrigerated units, and combine efficient electric drivetrains with advanced battery management systems to support urban retail logistics. Key advantages include lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced operating costs, application flexibility across industries, and enhanced efficiency for last-mile delivery and specialized commercial operations.

In February 2023, Lloyds Banking Group plc, a UK-based financial services company, acquired Tusker for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Lloyds Banking Group aimed to broaden its vehicle leasing business and accelerate its transition toward sustainable transportation by incorporating low-emission vehicle leasing into its portfolio. Tuskerdirect Limited is a UK-based vehicle management and leasing company that focuses on providing electric vehicles (EVs) and ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) to organizations through salary-sacrifice car benefit schemes.
