Market Milestone
Electric models made up nearly a third of China’s new heavy-truck sales, up sharply from niche levels.
China’s Ministry of Transport has set a systemic target of 40% electric new heavy-truck sales by 2030, tied to 3,000 charging stations and route-specific mandates. The plan treats electrification as a freight-system overhaul, not just a vehicle swap, potentially slashing emissions from one of the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors.
