*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Strong commitment and action from traditional diesel truck manufacturers to launch electric trucks is pointing to a promising move towards heavy-duty electrification. While heavy-duty electric trucks account for only 2.7% of all US trucks, they amount to almost 22% of fuel use from the trucking sector and 7% of total road transport emissions. However, heavy-duty trucking has been traditionally considered to be the most difficult to electrify due to its long-haul nature. How many heavy trucks actually travel long-haul vs. short-haul? How many vehicles can be electrified based on the range available in today’s trucks? What does that mean for % VMT electrified and oil displacement? In this insight, we answer these questions and discuss our outlook for US heavy-duty truck electrification, as well as the upside potential.
