France is focusing on diversifying light commercial vehicle offerings to meet specific market and logistic demands within and beyond its borders

  • The French light commercial vehicles (LCV) market, known for its diverse range of vehicle types and applications, is witnessing a notable emphasis on efficiency, environmental consciousness, and innovation. This market encompasses a wide array of vehicles, including panel vans, pickup trucks, and small trucks, each catering to distinct segments of the economy. These segments span from small businesses and tradesmen to large corporations and delivery services. The demand for each vehicle type is influenced by factors like payload capacity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and increasingly, environmental considerations.
  • Panel vans, highly prized for their adaptability, payload capacity, and maneuverability in urban settings, dominate the French LCV market. These vans serve as the backbone of the delivery and services sectors, capitalizing on the surge in online shopping and home delivery. Notably, the panel van market is experiencing a notable shift toward electrification, propelled by the French government's environmental policies. These policies include incentives for electric vehicle purchases and the establishment of low-emission zones in urban areas.
  • Pick-up trucks and small trucks, crucial players in the French LCV market, cater to specific sectors like construction, landscaping, and utility services. While these segments have been slower in adopting electric and hybrid technologies, there is a rising interest in sustainable alternatives. This shift is driven by both a broader societal push for sustainability and stricter emission regulations. These factors are compelling manufacturers to innovate and offer more eco-friendly options.

France Light Commercial Vehicles Market Trends

France drives electric vehicle sales with government support and incentives

  • Canada's GDP stood at USD 45,191.99 in 2017 and a surge to USD 46,625.86 was observed in 2018. This trend, however, was not linear, with 2020 revealing a dip to USD 43,383.71, largely influenced by global disruptions. However, Canada's economic forte shone bright as 2021 numbers rebounded to USD 52,387.81, further accentuated by the 2022 figure. Key industry observers attribute this to Canada's diversified economy, strategic fiscal measures, and strong foundation in the service and technological sectors.
  • The government is investing heavily and making efforts to increase the adoption of green vehicles among consumers in France. For instance, in January 2021, the French government invested EUR 200 million to support the local and urban mobility authorities who are ready to electrify their vehicles (bus fleet). Moreover, in February 2021, the French government selected Greenmot’s Green-eBus project as one of the future projects to invest in. European Investment Bank funds the project intending to make the European Union the first greenhouse gas-neutral economy by 2050, and such projects are expected to accelerate electric mobility in France.
  • Various plans and strategies introduced by the government are adding to the demand and sales of electric vehicles in the country. In October 2021, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new plan named France 2030. Under the plan, the government will invest USD 30 billion to produce 2 million fully electric and hybrid vehicles domestically by 2030. Production growth is expected to increase the sales and the growing demand for EVs during 2024-2030 in France.

Market Definition

  • Vehicle Type - The category covers light commercial vehicle.
  • Vehicle Body Type - This includes Light Commercial Pick-up Trucks and Light Commercial Vans.
  • 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.
MPV These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
