The Western Europe heavy ground transportation vehicles industry by 2030, will be valued at USD 271.5 billion. Mainly because of automotive technology developments, rapid urbanization, and commercial activity development. 

Moreover, new use cases are being established because of the push toward electrification and the growth of digital technologies.

In 2020, in Europe, only 1% of new registrations were for zero carbon release heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs). Around 95% were battery-powered, and fuel-cell electric types of machinery were marginally existing.
Why Are Trucks So Vital in Western Europe?

Road cargo transport is the backbone of trade and business in the Western European region.

•    Trucks bring 78% of all cargo transported over land in the European continent.
•    Trucks occupation as part of a logistics chain whose parts also include inland waterways, shipping rail, and air transport. While distinctly, each has its benefits, together they form an integrated system.
•    The other transportation methods are also reliant on trucks to transfer cargo to and from ports, rail terminals, depots, and airfields.
•    Not only do trucks are the most responsive economical and, flexible, mode of transportation for the huge majority of goods and cargo, but they are also vital to the working of the larger, combined European logistics and transportation system.
•    Most of our daily requirements, including fresh food from the hypermarket or corner shop, clothing, electronics and appliances, and so on, rely on trucks at some point in the delivery chain.
•    Several vital public services are transported by trucks, including garbage collection, construction, and fire services.

Western Europe Bus Industry is Ruled by France 
France fascinates individuals of all ages with some of the globe’s most- prominent landmarks, world-class architecture and art, an amazing amount of history, and stunning countryside, which encourages tourism in the nation. In 2021, France held the largest revenue share, of approximately 30%, in the Western European bus market.

Western Europe Truck Industry  
For example, Germany shares a dual relationship with France, as it is the former’s closest neighbour. Under this bilateral symmetrical relation, both nations exchange their goods and services via diverse transport means, including trucks and trains, thus contributing to the development of the industry in the region.

Hence, with the industrial and construction boom in the continent, the need for trucks for several purposes is growing. However, such activities lead to an increase in the release of greenhouse gases, which is why governments in the continent are executing strict CO2 release control rules and introducing initiatives to fuel the shift to other fuels. which is why conventional buses and trucks are presently dominating the western Europe heavy ground transportation vehicles market. In the coming few years, the sales of electric vehicles will rise fast.
