China has announced a plan to transition 40% of new heavy trucks over 12 tons to new energy vehicles by 2030, aiming for 20% of the total heavy truck fleet to be electric or alternative fuel, roughly 1.6 million units. Short regional freight routes like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area will see an 80% NEV share. The plan also includes building about 3000 charging and battery stations along 30,000 km of low-carbon highways. By 2025, electric models could already account for nearly one-third of new heavy truck sales in China, supported by government subsidies, replacement programs, and expanding charging infrastructure. Major manufacturers like Farizon Auto, BYD, FAW, and SANY are leading the shift with electric tractors, dump trucks, and delivery vans. The rapid growth of China's electric truck market signals a significant move toward decarbonizing freight transport.
