Abstract:

Manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) in the European Union face a CO2 target for the first time in 2025. The average CO2 emissions of most HDVs first registered in the 2025 reporting period (between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026) must be 15% less than the average of all HDVs first registered in the 2019 reporting period (between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020).

This report considers the progress manufacturers have made toward this 15% target to date and the efforts required to achieve the target, focusing on the top seven HDV manufacturers by market share: Daimler Truck (19% of the EU’s truck market in 2024), Volvo Trucks (15%), MAN (14%), Scania (14%), Iveco (12%), DAF (11%), and Renault Trucks (8%).
