Data from domestic research institutions show that from the perspective of the current commercial vehicle power type, diesel vehicles are still the mainstream models, but the rapid development trend of electrification and zero emission of commercial vehicles in the EU has begun to take shape.
According to statistics, in the first three quarters of 2023, the number of new commercial vehicle registrations in the EU has increased significantly, among which Chinese brand models have performed well.
Trucks: fuel vehicles, new energy chasingStep lifting
Looking at vans first, in the first three quarters of 2023, diesel remained the top choice, accounting for 83% of the market share, slightly lower than 87% in 2022.
This change is mainly due to the increasing popularity of alternative energy sources, which has led to a gradual change in market share, with the market share of rechargeable electric vans soaring to 73%, sales increased by 914%, with triple-digit percentage growth in the first and third largest markets in Europe: France (+102.).2%) and the Netherlands (+136..)8%）。
Next to trucks: Diesel trucks continue to dominate the truck market, accounting for 95% of new truck registrations from January to September 20235%。Diesel truck sales in the EU grew by a solid 22%, driven by growth in key markets, but electric trucks accounted for 15%, up from 0. in 2022This is a significant increase of 4%.
Bus: policy-driven, rapid development of new energy
The European Union will soon pass the world's most stringent heavy-duty vehicle CO2 regulations, and put forward ambitious low-carbon and zero-emission development goals, especially the goal of 100% zero emissions of city buses by 2035, and set an interim target of 85% zero emissions of city buses by 2030. Therefore, driven by regulations and policies, the evolution of new energy for urban buses in the EU is accelerating.
In the first three quarters of 2023, new sales of electrically charged buses in the EU increased by 315%, reaching 3405 vehicles, accounting for 144% market share, compared to 13% in 2022.
Among the three major markets in the European Union, Spain grew significantly, reaching 2462%, followed by France (+35.).8%) and Germany (+26.).9%）。Hybrid electric buses maintained their growth momentum, with sales up 1561%, more than doubling the market share compared to 2022 (from 5.).9% grew to 128%）。
From the brand point of view, although Germany's MAN (MAN) increased significantly in the first half of 2023, the performance of Chinese brand buses is outstanding, Yutong, BYD, etc. are still the leading brands of new energy buses in Europe, and Nanjing Iveco has also become one of the market head brands in Germany, the main European bus market, with 131 units and a market share of 5%.
Despite the growing popularity of electric and hybrid models, diesel buses still maintain the largest market share at 647%, but new energy is becoming more and more popular in the European market, which provides huge development potential for new energy buses in the European market in the future.
