3. Market Leadership - Electric Commercial Vehicle Market

The global electric commercial vehicle market size is projected to grow from 353 thousand units in 2022 to 3,144 thousand units by 2030, at a CAGR of 31.4%. The rising cost of fossil fuels, reducing cost of EV batteries and government initiatives in increasing usage of low emission vehicles will lead to a growth of the electric commercial vehicle market.

Developments in EV battery technology, connected vehicle technology, battery management technology, wireless on the go charging will have a major impact on the electric commercial vehicle market in the future. Government bodies and fleet providers are working with manufacturers to provide the necessary EV charging infrastructure across their world. Because of all these benefits and the government initiatives taken around the world to reduce emissions from vehicles, electric commercial vehicle market is projected to register rapid growth in the next few decades.

The electric commercial vehicle market is dominated by established players such as BYD (China), Yutong (China), AB Volvo (Sweden), VDL Groep (Netherland), and CAF (Spain). The market ranking has been derived by considering electric bus, vans, trucks and pickup truck manufacturers using a approximate percentage of revenue of these companies (as per breakdown for given commercial vehicles) and an the number of electric bus, truck, van and pickups sold in 2021.
