Market Growth Factors

The German federal government, through its "eHighway" program to deploy overhead power lines along major autobahn freight routes, is a major driver to increase the share of electric trucks. The eHighway will allow hybrid and electric trucks to charge while in transit along the country's highways, thus decreasing the carbon footprint of long-distance freight and improving the zero-emission capabilities in the 2025-2033 forecast period.

Purchase incentives at national and state levels for commercial vehicles as well as municipal logistics fleets in Berlin and public sector contractors also help reduce the higher purchase cost of electric over diesel heavy trucks. Some other states also provide subsidies and fast-track permitting for private charging infrastructure, all of which can speed up market penetration and transition to low-emission transport.

A key driver for market growth is the domestic manufacturing ecosystem with original equipment manufacturers such as Daimler Truck, MAN, and Volkswagen's Traton using in-house engineering for mass production. The new Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 versions along with several gigafactories producing heavy-duty battery packs, will shorten supply chains, reduce costs and increase the pace of innovation. They will ensure faster delivery times and better after-sale services for fleets in addition to allowing Germany to become a European hub for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles.
