Based on propulsion, the HEV segment accounted for 60% of the market share in 2022, due to the ability of hybrid electric vans to offer a transitional solution toward greener transportation. Hybrid vans combine traditional internal combustion engines with electric power, providing improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, appealing to businesses seeking to lower their carbon footprint. Also, hybrid vans provide extended driving ranges and reduced operational costs, making them an attractive choice for those not ready for a full transition to all-electric models, this versatility and environmental consciousness are driving the demand for hybrid electric vans in the market.
Based on application, the commercial segment held over 60% of the electric vans market share in 2022. Electric vans offer cost savings over time, with lower operating and maintenance expenses compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Additionally, they contribute to environmental sustainability by producing zero tailpipe emissions, aligning with corporate sustainability goals and government regulations. Improved battery technology, extended ranges, and expanding charging infrastructure are making electric vans more viable for businesses, reducing their carbon footprint while enhancing efficiency and long-term cost-effectiveness.
Asia Pacific electric vans market size dominated around USD 10.2 billion in 2022. There is a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, with governments implementing policies and incentives to promote electric vehicles. For instance, in June 2023, China unveiled a significant tax incentive package worth USD 72.3 billion spanning four years, aimed at supporting electric vehicles (EVs) and eco-friendly vehicles. Under the extended program, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) purchased in 2024 and 2025 will be eligible for a complete exemption from the purchase tax, potentially saving buyers up to USD 4,170 per vehicle. However, the exemption will be halved and capped at USD 2,078 from 2026 to 2027.
