Decarbonization drives a transition from a reliance on internal combustion engines, powered by diesel, to a greater focus on non-fossil-fueled propulsion
BOULDER, Colo., April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A new report from Guidehouse Insights provides guidance for the adoption of electric heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) and analyzes the likely technology split between battery EVs (BEVs) and fuel cell EVs.
The significant focus on decarbonizing the HCV segment in 2022 has primarily benefitted vehicles with electrified drivelines. Regulation is one factor, but an increasingly significant driver is that transportation end users are looking to address their Scope 3 emissions footprints and thus, are mandating the use of low emission or zero emission vehicles. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, zero emissions heavy commercial sales are expected to grow from an estimated 242,000 in 2023 to 1.6 million in 2032, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%.
“Decarbonization is based on the significant reduction of fossil fuels as an energy source. Transportation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so if the Paris Agreement’s ambitions are to be realized, decarbonization must sit at the center of future industrial and transportation strategy,” says Oliver Dixon, analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Diesel’s fitness for purpose, which has never been in doubt over the past century, is now on the wane and a replacement must be found.”
The report reviews and provides analysis of the HCV market as its decarbonization drives a transition from a reliance on internal combustion engines, powered by diesel, to a greater focus on non-fossil-fueled propulsion. In addition, the report provides adoption estimates for battery electric (BEV) trucks and fuel cell (FCV) trucks. The analysis points to the former having a significant advantage in the marketplace during the outlook period because of a confluence of factors including the cadence of directly and indirectly applicable regulation and considerations of cost and fitness for purpose, according to the report.
The report, Zero Emissions Trucks and Buses, estimates adoption rates and revenues for the global electric HCV market, segmented by technology types (BEV versus FCV) and by global region. Guidehouse Insights regards the market for electrified drivelines as firmly established and one that is set to grow quickly during the analysis period covered in this report (2023-2032). An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
