Europe Truck Market Size
The Europe truck market was estimated at USD 53.4 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 56.8 billion in 2026 to USD 97.6 billion in 2035, at a CAGR of 6.2% according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc
Stringent European emission standards and decarbonization goals over the long term are moving the transition to cleaner truck technologies faster. Trucks of electric, hydrogen, and low-emission types are replacing and getting updated with policies. Financial incentives, scrappage schemes, and low-emission zones are also used to boost demand of next-generation trucks in medium- and heavy-duty segments that is beneficial to the long-term growth of the market.
Rising use of electric trucks is becoming a major growth factor for the European truck market. Their market share rose from 2.1% in 2024 to 3.8% in 2025, showing faster adoption. This growth results from stricter emission rules, lower overall ownership costs, and more charging stations. These factors are encouraging manufacturers to invest and speed up the electrification and replacement of fleets.
The growth of e-commerce and last-mile delivery is growing in freight movement in Europe. Trucks continue to be the source of regional and cross-border logistics, as they allow the flexing of routes and delivery within a certain time frame. Increasing parcel counts, warehouse growth, and omnichannel retailing frameworks are motivating fleet capacity investments, renewing cycles and tailored truck designs designed to deliver to the urban market and conduct transportation among cities.
The continuous investments in highways, intelligent transport corridors, logistics parks as well as cross-border trade routes are enhancing freight mobility in Europe. With better infrastructure, transit time and operation costs are minimized which leads to increased vehicle utilization. The ongoing development of multimodal logistics centers enhances the need to secure affordable trucking transportation, which is promoting the desire to grow fleet capacity in logistics companies, manufacturers, and third-party transport companies.
The operational efficiency is increasing as more telematics, sophisticated safety systems, predictive maintenance, and digital tools to manage the fleet are making use. These technologies minimize downtimes, fuel economy and aid in compliance with regulatory requirements. With the growing need to reduce the total cost of ownership and enhance productivity, the need in technologically advanced trucks remains to increase, increasing the replacement cycle speed.
Northern Europe is the most accelerating truck industry because of the early electrification process and effective sustainability policies. The introduction of zero-emission trucks is achieved quickly by high investment in charging infrastructure and renewable energy. The high level of freight intensity, sophistication in logistics systems and upstream environmental regulation promotes rapid fleet replacement which leads to more vigorous growth that is experienced in other parts of Europe.
Western Europe has the largest market share due to its busy logistics activities, solid industrial base, and key role in trade within Europe. High manufacturing output and freight volumes keep truck demand steady. The presence of major original equipment manufacturers established supply chains, and ongoing fleet renewal by large logistics companies strengthens the region’s leading market position.

Europe Truck Market Trends
An increase in labor deficits in the ranks of professional drivers is driving the urge to seek newer and more automated types of trucks in Europe. To improve the safety, comfort, and retention of drivers, fleet operators are investing in vehicles with high driver-assistance systems, better ergonomics, and semi-autonomous capabilities. This is changing the demand as firms start focusing on productivity and labour stability.
The rising fuel volatility is also compelling fleet operators to use alternative-powered trucks that are fuel-efficient. The OEMs whose aerodynamics, engines, and energy management systems are optimized are gaining momentum. This emphasis on cost optimization of fuel prompts fleets to upgrade vehicles to more often, which underpins the need to buy next generation trucks, which have lower operating costs.
The increasing fleet ownership and leasing in Europe is growing due to growth in contract logistics and third-party logistics providers. The outsourcing of transport operations by the manufacturer and retailer heightens the need to have steady-scale truck fleets that are standardized. Long-term logistical contracts also encourage predictable fleet growth, which creates consistent purchasing of medium- and heavy-duty trucks on major European freight routes.
Growth in niche truck segments is being supported by increasing demand of temperature-controlled and specialized freight. Pharmaceutical distribution, food-logistics and cold-chain transportation need special refrigerated and insulated trucks. Increased safety and quality standards raise the demand of modern vehicles that are compliant, leading to an expansion of the market of higher-value trucks and custom body designs.
The purchasing behavior is being transformed because of the rising use of leasing, renting, and pay-per-use truck models. Flexibility in the financing schemes minimizes initial financial needs of the fleet operators and small car transporters. This change favors increased turnover rates of the fleets and promotes demand of new trucks, especially in small and mid-sized logistics providers.
The long-haul trucking is being sustained by the strengthening of the export-oriented industrial foundation in Europe. Expansion in the automotive, machinery, chemicals and consumer goods exports augments the use of road-based freigts to connect to the port and allocate distribution within the country. The increasing industrial production and trade volumes are encouraging enhanced truck usage and capacity expansion in most of the manufacturing zones.
