Electric Van Global Market Report 2024

An electric van is a type of commercial vehicle that runs primarily or entirely on electricity instead of traditional fossil fuels. These vans utilize electric motors and rechargeable batteries for propulsion, offering advantages such as lower emissions, reduced operating costs, and quieter operation compared to vans powered by internal combustion engines. They are increasingly favored for urban delivery services and other commercial uses where reducing environmental impact is important.

Electric vans are typically powered by battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Battery electric vehicles (BEV) operate solely on electricity stored in rechargeable batteries, without any internal combustion engine. These batteries commonly use materials such as nickel, manganese, cobalt, and lithium-ion, with capacities ranging from under 50 kWh to over 50 kWh. They offer varying ranges tailored to different applications, including up to 100 miles, 100-200 miles, and over 200 miles, suitable for sectors such as last-mile delivery, refrigerated transport, field services, and distribution.

The electric van market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.51 billion in 2023 to $20.79 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26%. During the historic period, growth can be credited to governmental initiatives, improvements in charging infrastructure, increased public and corporate awareness of climate change and environmental sustainability, greater adoption by businesses seeking to decrease their carbon footprint, and lower operational costs compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vans, including savings on fuel and maintenance. Additionally, the introduction of low-emission zones in cities has played a significant role.

The electric van market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1%. The anticipated growth in forecast period is driven by ongoing and potentially expanded government incentives and subsidies for electric vehicles, declining production costs due to scale in manufacturing and maturing supply chains, a rising number of businesses establishing ambitious carbon neutrality goals, significant investments in expanding and upgrading charging networks - such as ultra-fast chargers - and advancements in wireless and mobile charging solutions. Moreover, the growth is supported by the increasing use of renewable energy sources to reduce the carbon footprint of EV charging. Key trends expected include the development of solid-state batteries, advancements in battery technology, the proliferation of ultra-fast charging stations and wireless charging options, integration of advanced driver-assistance systems, and the evolution of connected vehicle technologies enabling real-time data exchange.

The increasing demand for logistics and e-commerce is poised to drive growth in the electric van market moving forward. Logistics and e-commerce involve managing and executing the flow of goods, services, and information in online retail, from order placement to delivery. This trend is fueled by rising consumer expectations for convenient, fast, and reliable online shopping and delivery services. Electric vans play a crucial role in this sector by reducing delivery costs and environmental impact while enhancing efficiency in urban deliveries. For instance, according to the United States Census Bureau in May 2024, U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the first quarter of 2024 reached $289.2 billion, marking a 2.1 percent (±0.7%) increase from the fourth quarter of 2023. This underscores the growing influence of logistics and e-commerce in shaping the electric van market.

Key players in the electric van market are concentrating on developing commercial and fleet electric vans equipped with battery-electric vehicle systems to improve sustainability and operational efficiency in commercial transportation. These electric-powered vehicles are tailored for business purposes such as goods delivery and service operations, offering advantages such as lower operating costs and reduced environmental footprint. For instance, Ram Trucks launched the Ram ProMaster electric van (EV) in January 2024, a significant step in their electrification efforts. The ProMaster EV boasts a targeted city driving range of up to 162 miles and is powered by a standard 110-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack. It supports Level 3 DC fast charging options ranging from 50 kW to 150 kW, along with a Level 2 wall box charger up to 11 kW. The cargo van configuration can handle payloads up to 3,020 pounds, while the delivery model accommodates 2,030 pounds of payload.

In April 2024, CMA CGM acquired a 10% stake in Flexis SAS, a joint venture between Renault Group and Volvo Group focused on electric van development, enhancing its logistics capabilities for last-mile parcel delivery. This strategic investment underscores CMA CGM's commitment to expanding its logistics business with electric van technology from Flexis SAS, a France-based manufacturer specializing in electric vans.
