A growing market for electric heavy-duty vehicles in Europe

The electric truck market is at the beginning of the road to electrification. The number of heavy electric vehicles traveling on the road is still negligible, but the increase in the number of registrations of this type of vehicles is clearly visible.

The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) estimates that by 2030 the number of electric trucks on European roads will be around 200,000 (today is less than 3,000).
