Electric Truck Market Report 2025

The electric truck market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.99 billion in 2024 to $5.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.4%. 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 $27.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.3%. 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.

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.
