Heavy Duty Truck Market By Tonnage type (10 to 15 metric ton, More than 15 metric ton), By Propulsion (IC Engine, Electric, FCEV), By Application (Construction and Mining, Freight and Logistics, Long Haul, Other), By Axle Type (4x2, 6x4, 6x2, 6x6, 8x6, 8x8, Others), By Truck Type (Rigid, Articulated, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The report incorporates the study of the global heavy duty truck market that focuses on the commercial vehicles that are an integral part of any commercial activities such as transportation, agriculture, construction, and many other functions. The heavy duty trucks are used to transport heavy loads that cannot be transported by the ordinary load-carrying capacity trucks. These vehicles are specially designed to carry heavy loads and transport these loads from one place to another. These vehicles are generally employed in urban and suburban areas. Heavy-duty trucks are heavier than medium-duty trucks. Their weight ranges from 26001 lbs to over 33000 lbs (11794 kg to over 14969 kg).
At present, government’s focus on reducing the carbon footprints and transport & logistics aim to achieve carbon neutral operation are encouraging OEMs to develop zero-emission high-performance trucks. The participants are establishing strategic partnerships to invent new technologies to minimize the carbon emission and to improve their market value. Thus, with the shifting preferences of customers, development of charging infrastructure, availability of fast-charging station and the subsidiary benefits on electric vehicles over conventional internal combustion engine trucks, the demand for electric trucks for freight operation is expected to grow, and the market may experience an exponential upward trajectory during the projection period. For instance, in March 2022, the three leading commercial vehicle manufacturers the TRATON GROUP, Daimler Truck, and Volvo Group signed a binding agreement to create a joint venture (JV) to install and operate a high-performance public charging network for battery electric, heavy-duty long-haul trucks and coaches across Europe.
The market for heavy duty trucks is expanding in part due to reasons such as high payload capacity, increased credit availability, financing choices, and improved road infrastructure. In August 2022, Ashok Leyland’s authorized distributors, Deluxe Trucks categories ranging from 2.55 Ton GVW to 55 Ton GVW and Bus in Kenya signed a partnership with Kenya Commercial Bank to jointly promote the Ashok Leyland brand of vehicles. Additionally, the growing need for transportation options in rural and semi-urban areas as well as the development of heavy duty truck technology open up new market potential for the major players in the industry.
However, rising fuel prices and high truck maintenance costs and increasing carbon emissions from diesel fuel combustion are the factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the heavy-duty truck market. For instance, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2020, diesel (distillate) fuel consumption in the U.S. transportation sector resulted in the emission of about 432 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. This amount was equal to about 26% of total U.S. transportation sector CO2 emissions and equal to about 9% of total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions in 2020.
For the purpose of analysis, the global heavy duty truck market is segmented on the basis of tonnage type, propulsion, application, truck type, axle type, and region. By tonnage type, the market is divided into 10 to 15 metric ton and more than 15 metric ton. By propulsion, it is fragmented into internal combustion engine (ICE), electric, and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). By application, it is categorized into construction and mining, freight and logistics, long haul, and other. By truck type, it is categorized into rigid, articulated, and others. By axle type, it is fragmented into 4X2, 6X4, 6X2, 6X6, 8X6, 8X8, and Others. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
