The latest trends for European trucks globally in 2025

As of 2024, the latest trends for European trucks globally in 2025 can be summarized as follows: 

1. Accelerated Electrification: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, many traditional European truck manufacturers (such as Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Volvo, and Scania) plan to launch more electric heavy-duty truck models in 2025, aiming for full electrification to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Exploration of Hydrogen Fuel Technology: Hydrogen fuel trucks are also gaining attention, with manufacturers increasing investment and research into hydrogen fuel cell technology to secure a foothold in the future transport market.

3. Intelligent and Autonomous Driving: Autonomous driving technology will continue to evolve, with more pilot projects and commercial applications expected in 2025. The connectivity of fleets will significantly improve, promoting intelligent transport management, maintenance, and safety.

4. Digitalization and IoT Solutions: Further digital transformation will tightly connect vehicles to cloud platforms, facilitating real-time data analysis and remote monitoring to enhance operational efficiency.

5. Impact of Regulations and Policies: Europe’s clean air initiatives and related regulations will continue to influence truck manufacturers' R&D directions, prompting them to launch more products that meet new standards.

6. Changing Market Demand: With an increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the logistics industry, more customers are likely to prefer low-emission or electric trucks, driving manufacturers to adjust their product offerings and market strategies.

7. Activity in the Used Truck Market: As new truck prices rise and electric trucks gain traction, the value of older diesel trucks in the used market is expected to fluctuate, leading to new consumption trends in the second-hand market.

These trends reflect the European truck industry's shift towards a more sustainable, efficient, and intelligent future against the backdrop of the global economy and environmental concerns. As 2025 approaches, these trends are likely to trigger further innovations and market changes.
