Hybrid Truck Market Report 2025

The hybrid truck market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $23.41 billion in 2024 to $24.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to fuel efficiency requirements, environmental regulations, cost savings and operational efficiency, government incentives and subsidies, rise in awareness of carbon footprint.

The hybrid truck market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in battery technology, expansion of green logistics, global transition to sustainable transport, stringent emission standards, economic and regulatory support. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of autonomous and semi-autonomous features, emphasis on aerodynamic design for fuel economy, introduction of regenerative braking systems, focus on last-mile delivery solutions, implementation of predictive maintenance technologies.

A significant increase in government regulations and policies targeting diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is projected to drive the growth of the hybrid truck market. New government initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing pollution control are prompting truck manufacturers to create vehicles that utilize alternative fuel sources. These regulations and policies are facilitating the expansion of the hybrid truck market. For example, in March 2023, the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based NGO, reported that EU member states approved a groundbreaking law mandating zero CO2 emissions for all new cars by 2035, effectively phasing out diesel and petrol vehicles. Additionally, the law requires a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2021 levels. Consequently, the surge in government regulations and policies against diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is fueling the growth of the hybrid truck market.

The growth of the hybrid truck market is further driven by rising fuel prices. Escalating fuel costs incentivize the adoption of hybrid trucks owing to their enhanced fuel efficiency, achieved by combining electric power with conventional engines. As fuel prices increase, businesses seek more economical and sustainable transportation options. For example, recent data from the UK's Office for National Statistics indicates a notable rise in motor fuel prices between September and October 2023. The average gasoline price increased by 1.5 pence per liter, reaching 155.1 pence per liter, while the average diesel price surged by 4.8 pence per liter, reaching 162.2 pence per liter during the same period. Consequently, the rise in fuel prices is a significant driver behind the growth of the hybrid truck market.

A key trend in the hybrid truck market is technological advancement. Major companies in the market are investing in advanced technologies, such as zero-emission hybrid powertrain technology, to maintain their competitive positions. In May 2022, US Hybrid introduced near-zero-emission natural gas-powered parallel hybrid powertrain technology for drayage and long-haul trucks. This technology offers increased power, reduced fuel consumption, enhanced efficiency, and near-zero emissions. It provides a practical solution for long-haul fleet operators seeking near-zero-emission capabilities, reflecting the industry's commitment to versatility and environmental responsibility.

Product innovation, particularly in the form of ecoboost petrol engines, is a focus for major companies operating in the hybrid truck market. Ecoboost petrol engines are recognized for their turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engines that deliver fuel efficiency without compromising performance. For instance, Ford launched the Ranger Plug-in Hybrid in Europe in September 2023. Featuring a 2.3-liter EcoBoost petrol engine, an electric motor, and an electric range exceeding 45 km, this truck aligns with sustainability goals by reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. The innovative design includes 4WD off-road capability, selectable drive modes, driver assist features, and Pro Power Onboard for using power tools via embedded outlets, making it an ideal choice for various work settings amid the increasing implementation of low-emission zones in European cities.

In October 2024, Bharat Forge Limited, an India-based forging company, purchased American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. for $64.76 million. This strategic acquisition is intended to strengthen Bharat Forge's global presence and broaden its product range in the automotive and industrial sectors. American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. is a U.S.-based producer of driveline and drivetrain components and systems for automobiles.

Hybrid trucks are heavy vehicles equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that incorporates one or more electric motors powered by batteries, in addition to an internal combustion engine. These trucks are designed with features such as larger tires, flexible suspension, and a high ground clearance ratio, enabling them to operate effectively on unpaved and forest roads with uneven, low-traction surfaces.

The main technology types employed in hybrid trucks include parallel hybrid, series hybrid, series-parallel hybrid, and plug-in hybrid. In a series hybrid, the vehicle's basic drivetrain design relies on a battery to power the motor that drives the wheels. Various types of hybrid trucks are available, including light-duty trucks and heavy-duty trucks suitable for applications in construction, as well as pick-up and delivery vehicles.
