Commercial & Off-Highway Vehicles (ICEs, PHEVs, BEVs) Market Analysis

INTRODUCTION

PTR’s Commercial Off-Highway Vehicles Service takes a look at the following 6 types of vehicles: Agriculture, Buses & Coaches, Construction, Light Commercial Vehicles, Forklifts, and Trucks, further breaking down each type into various sub-types and sub-categories. Electric Vehicles have been penetrating the passenger vehicle market significantly, but what is the story for commercial and off-highway vehicles? Motivations and incentives are different in this sector where latest-and-greatest pales in comparison to ROI. Within PTR’s e-Mobility segment, the Commercial & Off-Highway Vehicles Service has been designed to look deeper into the sales of these vehicles, complimenting the EV Charging Infrastructure (EVSE) Service. Many segments have different drivers and market dynamics as well as a myriad of OEMs providing solutions. Accelerators and Inhibitors in this market include the available EV charging infrastructure, EV policy and plans, and company product portfolios.

Recently, the transition towards zero-emission vehicles has been evident, especially in the electric commercial vehicles segment (Buses, Trucks, LCVs). Several new electric models have been announced in the commercial vehicle segment with higher range and battery sizes. New long-haul models have also been announced by major OEMs indicating an imminent market shift in the United States. Alongside these market changes, major fleet operators have announced their sustainability goals as they start electrifying their fleets. In Europe, the United States, and China, there has been rapid growth in the adoption of e-bus fleets. China, on a global scale, hosts over 90% of all e-buses currently.

There has been a clear shift from PHEVs to BEVs as well, especially in the LCV segment, as only BEVs may be considered zero-emission commercial vehicles, leaving PHEVs out of incentives and subsidies in some countries. That said, the market is still reliant on subsidies. In a 2019 momentum test in China, the market of e-buses slowed down as subsidies were temporarily removed. In addition to this, OEMs still appear reluctant to completely abandon ICEs in the commercial vehicle market segment. But as the adoption of BEVs increases, the market is naturally gravitating towards such vehicles and many OEMs are expanding into the market to avail new growth opportunities to stay relevant in this change.
