The 2024 follow-up report “Market development of climate-friendly technologies in heavy-duty road freight transport in Germany and Europe – 2024“ provides information on the planned sales figures and the underlying strategic orientation of the most important commercial vehicle manufacturers in Germany and Europe. Following its publication in November 2024, the report is now also available in English. 

The information was obtained in the course of confidential consultations with the most important European truck manufacturers in April and May 2024 (so-called cleanroom talks) with representatives of the German federal transport ministry, NOW GmbH, and a law firm commissioned to ensure compliance with antitrust laws. The consultations were a follow-up to the first cleanroom talks in 2022. 

The now published update shows that the market ramp-up of climate-friendly commercial vehicles has become much more concrete. New regulatory framework conditions, such as the introduction of a CO2 component in the truck toll and the tightening of the European CO2 fleet target values for heavy commercial vehicles, seem to be contributing to this.
