With an in-depth analysis of pivotal market and technological trends, challenges, issues, and promising growth opportunities, this section charts the course that the industry value chain could traverse. The report culminates by taking a panoramic view of market evolution and casting forward the demand outlook for the European Medium & Heavy Truck Market in the near to medium term horizon.

In the expanse of the European Medium & Heavy Truck market, steadfastness reigns supreme as it traverses the landscape of robust transport activity. The scenery is adorned with the presence of flourishing freight volumes and rates, complemented by the fleet utilization levels that stand robustly across operators. This collective dynamism fortifies the industry's aftermarket revenue stream, laying the groundwork for further expansion.

While the demand for new trucks and the backlog of orders hold their ground with resolute demeanor, an observable deceleration surfaces. This intriguing canvas paints a picture of a market scenario primarily navigated by supply dynamics. Within this context, the delivery of heavy trucks across the EU charts an impressive course, projecting a figure of over 300,000+ units for the year 2023.

The high average age of in-service truck fleets in the EU owing to production capacity constraints over the recent years, rapid energy transition towards de-carbonization and strong construction activity with continued infrastructure investments are likely to collectively provide significant growth opportunities to the industry over near to medium term in form of fleet replacements, expansion & recapitalizations, especially, in a volatile & uncertain global macroeconomic environment.

Further, the proposed Euro 7 emission standards for Trucks, which will be much more stricter & are scheduled to come into effect across EU from 2027, are likely to significantly increase the direct acquisition costs & indirect operating costs for the operators while having a limited impact on the environment with the industry instead pushing for a like-for-like replacement of existing fleets with electric alternatives rather than investing significantly towards R&D for complying with the proposed Euro 7 norms.

Trucking, thus, is projected to maintain its overall cruising speed as well as growth momentum over near term across most key markets with a year-on-year growth of up to 10% projected for traditional markets for 2023, i.e. North American Class 8 and EU30 market for heavy trucks, while the growth rate for emerging markets in Asia, led by China and India, is likely to be around 15%

The OEMs have been actively looking to increase production rates to meet demand levels while also adroitly managing ameliorating supply chain issues amid an increasingly uncertain & complex global macroeconomic environment marked by inflationary pressures, rising interest rates & tectonic geopolitical shifts underway. However, the second half of 2023 is likely to be significant for the industry as OEMs are likely to open fresh production slots for 2024, following slight easing of supply chain issues, which is likely to boost order intake by driving in new orders

The Trucking industry's ongoing transition towards de-carbonization, led by the mass production of battery electric & hydrogen fuel cell based trucks, has been the overarching theme over the recent years which is likely to gain further momentum going forward. Most key industry OEMs are now transitioning towards series production of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV), led by Daimler & Volvo, while also collaborating amongst each other and with domain specialists for development of the requisite ecosystem for transition towards sustainability.

Additionally, automation, electrification and further evolution of connectivity based service models remain key areas of focus for the truck manufacturers. The efforts have primarily been led by electrification, focused on both battery electric & hybrid technologies, with most industry OEMs transitioning towards series production & commercial deliveries of electric trucks.

This is likely to be followed by the mass market production, introduction & adoption of hydrogen-powered trucks in the 2030s which is likely to be supported & further accelerated by key initiatives, like the H2Accelerate program by the industry in EU to accelerate the uptake of green hydrogen, and the creation of First Movers Coalition geared towards jumpstarting the scalability of sustainable technologies through the end of the current decade
