Rise of Electric Light Trucks Amidst Mixed Market Trends: Insights from February 2024 Registrations
The new registrations of light trucks amounted to 3,613, an increase of 21 percent compared to February last year, with the proportion of electric vehicles reaching 25 percent.
“Although the proportion of electric vehicles among new registrations is relatively high, the electrification of the entire fleet of light trucks has not progressed as far. Therefore, the market introduction support for electric light trucks, introduced by the government this month, is welcome and expected to further accelerate electrification and reach more customer groups,” says Mattias Bergman.
Heavy trucks experienced a decrease in new registrations by 16 percent compared to February last year, and buses decreased by 17 percent. During the month, 431 heavy trucks and 40 buses were newly registered.
