Driving with cleaner engines: The evolution of diesel heavy-duty vehicles in China 2012-2023
This report analyzes China’s heavy-duty vehicle industry between 2012 and 2023, examining sales by powertrain, vehicle specifications, emissions performance, and the market for fuel supply and transmission technologies.

Supply-side regulations to accelerate the market for zero-emission heavy vehicles: Best practices from major policies
Drawing from experiences in California, the European Union, and the United States, this brief examines how SSRs can be designed to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission HDVs through market certainty and compliance flexibility.

Race to Zero: European Heavy-Duty Vehicle Market Development Quarterly (January–December 2024)
Analyzes manufacturers’ market readiness to develop and deploy zero-emission trucks and buses in Europe.
Roadmap to zero: The pace of Indonesia’s electric vehicle transition
Presents ambitious-but-feasible timelines for the pace at which Indonesia could transition to zero-emission vehicles in the two-wheeler, four-wheeler, commercial truck, and bus segments to align with its goal of net-zero emissions by 2060.

Vision 2050: Update on the global zero-emission vehicle transition in 2024
This update to the ICCT’s Vision 2050 series tracks global progress on zero-emission vehicle policies and markets through August 2024. The analysis shows recently adopted policies could avoid an additional 23 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2050, but that a gap remains between this updated baseline and a more ambitious scenario aligned with the Paris climate goals.

The ultra-low emission campaign on heavy industries in China
China’s ultra-low emission (ULE) campaign on heavy industries targets several industries, including steel, cement, and coking, and is expected to continue driving demand for electric freight trucks.

CO2 emissions from trucks in the European Union: An analysis of the 2021 reporting period
The study analyzes EU manufacturers’ CO2 emissions performance based on European Environmental Agency official data for the 2021 reporting period. The report outlines different strategies manufacturers are pursuing to meet the EU CO2 emissions targets.

China’s Stage 4 fuel consumption standard for heavy-duty commercial vehicles
There are several new elements in China’s Stage 4 fuel consumption standard for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, including that it tightens per-vehicle fuel consumption limits by 12%–16% and expands the scope to cover hybrid electric vehicles and concrete mixers.

Electrifying road transport with less mining : A global and regional battery material outlook
The study estimates that announced global battery production capacities for electric vehicles exceed demand through 2030. For the global supply in battery minerals, the scaling-up of mining capacities is keeping pace with the growing demand in the medium term, while global mineral reserves are sufficient to support future battery production in the long term.

Race to Zero: European Heavy Duty Vehicle Market Development Quarterly (January – September 2024)
Analyzes manufacturers’ market readiness to develop and deploy zero-emission trucks and buses in Europe.
