The diversity of commercial vehicles in the United States is driven by a robust economy, with demands ranging from urban delivery vans to long-haul trucks

  • The commercial vehicle market is undergoing constant evolution due to factors like increased traffic in goods, globalization of regional value chains, advancements in drive technology, and a heightened focus on safety. Since 2005, fuel prices have been on a steady rise, impacting the growth of diesel trucks. Additionally, fuel producers in the United States are operating at near-maximum capacity, leaving little room for production expansion.
  • The onset of the pandemic led to unprecedented disruptions in the commercial vehicle industry's supply chains. Lockdowns and other restrictions imposed globally resulted in mobility and travel limitations of an unprecedented scale. Industries heavily reliant on transportation, such as infrastructure and logistics, came to a standstill, presenting new hurdles for the manufacturing and freight sectors.
  • With the surging demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, several countries have prioritized upgrading their electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Consequently, numerous policies and incentives have been introduced to foster infrastructure growth. The US government has taken the lead in enacting legislation to promote electric vehicle adoption, aiming to phase out gasoline and diesel vehicle production by 2040, with a majority of vehicles running on batteries. Governments and municipalities have also implemented incentives and regulations to expedite the shift toward sustainable mobility. By 2030, the US government plans to establish 500,000 public chargers, catering to all vehicle types and technologies.

United States Commercial Vehicles Market Trends

Rapid growth in electric vehicle sales driven by government initiatives and increasing demand in the US

  • The United States has witnessed a significant surge in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in recent years. This uptick can be attributed to a heightened awareness of EVs, growing environmental concerns, and the implementation of government regulations. Notably, in 2016, California introduced the Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program aimed at curbing carbon emissions and improving air quality. This initiative has not only spurred the growth of electric cars within California but has also influenced other states to adopt similar ZEV regulations. Consequently, the nation saw a remarkable 634% surge in demand for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) from 2017 to 2022.
  • The demand for electric commercial vehicles in the United States is also on the rise. Factors such as the booming e-commerce industry, increased logistics activities, and governmental initiatives for cleaner transportation have fueled this growth. In a significant move, the governor of New York signed the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) Rule in September 2021. This rule sets a target for all new light-duty vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035 and the same for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. As a result, the United States witnessed a 21% surge in demand for electric commercial vehicles in 2022 compared to the previous year.
  • Governmental efforts, including rebates, subsidies, and strategic plans, are further bolstering the electrification of vehicles nationwide. In May 2022, President Biden unveiled a USD 3 billion plan to expedite domestic battery manufacturing, with the aim of transitioning gas-powered vehicles to electric ones. This push is expected to significantly boost electric mobility in the country, particularly during 2024-2030, thereby amplifying the demand for battery packs.

  • Fuel Category - The category includes various fuel types such as Gasoline, Diesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles), BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles), and FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles)
Keyword Definition
Electric Vehicle (EV) A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEV A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEV A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EV A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engine An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EV A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger Vehicles Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDT Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
Bus A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
Diesel It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
Gasoline It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPG It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNG It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEV All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEV PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
Hatchback These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
Sedan These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUV Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
