E-mobility: Global sales of electric trucks and buses almost doubled in 2025
Sales of medium and heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles are increasing worldwide. One country in particular is driving this growth.
Global sales of electric trucks and buses nearly doubled in 2025, reaching around half a million vehicles, up 86% from the previous year, according to a study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). China accounted for almost 90% of global sales, driven by strong demand for electric trucks. The European Union, India, Brazil, and the UK also saw double-digit growth, largely due to increased sales of electric buses, which made up 17% of global bus sales. In the EU, around 9,800 electric vehicles were sold, while in India, about 5,000 were sold.
