Market Trends of asia-pacific commercial vehicles Industry
APAC's rapid electric vehicle demand and sales growth are driven by government initiatives and commercial vehicle electrification
- Electric vehicle (EV) demand and sales have surged in the APAC region in recent years. China, the dominant market, saw a 2.90% rise in electric car sales in 2022 compared to 2021, while Japan experienced an 11.11% increase during the same period. Factors driving this trend include mounting environmental concerns, stringent regulations, and the advantages of EVs, such as fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and zero carbon emissions. Government subsidies further bolster the adoption of EVs in Asian nations.
- Conventional fuel-powered commercial vehicles, notably trucks and buses, are contributing to the escalating pollution levels in several Asia-Pacific countries. In response, many nations in the region are making substantial investments to transition their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric ones, aiming to curb carbon emissions. For instance, in December 2020, TransJakarta, a city-owned bus operator in Indonesia, unveiled an ambitious plan to expand its electric bus (e-bus) fleet to 10,000 units by 2030. Such initiatives across the region are propelling the electrification of commercial vehicles.
- Government bodies in various APAC countries are actively proposing measures to phase out fossil fuel vehicles, a move that is poised to bolster the market for electric commercial vehicles. In a notable development, in May 2022, Tata Motors secured a government contract in India to supply 5,450 electric buses worth INR 5,000 crore under the FAME 2 scheme. Additionally, the company announced plans to deliver 20,000 light electric trucks to six major e-commerce players. These advancements in the EV space are anticipated to further fuel the demand for electric commercial vehicles in the APAC region from 2024 to 2030.
