Component supply issues like batteries, power modules, semiconductors, and inverters.

VW recently announced the launch of ID.EVERY1’s because VW targets the mass market for 20K Euro and has a 250 km range. ID.EVERY1 could change the game if it’s safe and meets customer expectations. However, some Cheaper options include the Dacia Spring Electric 45 (16,900 Euro) and Leapmotor T03 (18,900 Euro) in Germany. The Dacia Spring Electric 65 is also priced at 18,900 euros. In two years, over nine electric cars under 22,000 Euro stopped selling in Europe.

If OEMs want to be successful in the EU, they must offer a wide range of electric car models to meet diverse customer preferences and wishes. This will help them achieve ROI quickly.

The average electric car price in Europe is still high due to battery prices and expensive components. According to our survey, 83% of customers compare electric cars’ features and safety to those of ICE cars. Still, the average cost of an Electric car in Europe is 40,000 Euros. 25 to 30K Euro is the right price bracket for mass-market EVs.

Because of their price points, Tesla 3 and ID.4/5 are in the Budget segment, while Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycon are in the luxury segment. Chinese OEMs like BYD, Geely, and NIO offer an advanced product range at attractive prices because they want a significant presence in the EU.

Building an EV factory is expensive, so we have suggested a strategic location to save costs and gain other benefits. Hungary is one of the attractive places to build an EV factory because it fits into the benefits location. Some examples are logistics, tax, and Manpower availability.

The U.S. Electric Car Market Forecast is a detailed Pricing analytical report that covers every aspect of the EV market. The US Market registered 1.3 million electric light-duty vehicles, including Electric Pickup Trucks. The CAGR between 2020 and 2024 is 24.6%, and it is expected to reach 11.3% by 2030.

We have adjusted the USA Electric Vehicle market following the Trump Government’s imposition. Two scenarios look possible.

If the Trump administration imposes tariffs on electric vehicles and components, this may increase production costs, reduce demand, and disrupt supply chains. While the policy may aim to fulfill the demand by increasing local manufacturing capacity, it risks slowing EV adoption, raising consumer prices, and creating uncertainty for automakers and suppliers in the short term. The US still relies on some Electric Vehicle components in the European Market, such as the Traction Power Module. Due to a supply shortage, some U.S. OEMs, such as Rivian, are buying power Modules from Germany.

Rolling Electric Vehicle in the USA:

The cumulative EV sales volume has grown significantly, from 0.41 million in 2019 to 4.80 million in 2024, indicating a strong upward trend in EV adoption in the USA after multiple new EV Models were launched. Sales growth has gained momentum since 2021, increasing rapidly each year.

The rolling sum of Electric Vehicle sales from 2019 to 2024 highlights exponential growth, strong market momentum, and increasing consumer confidence in EV adoption, but is still low compared to market expectations. The significant jump in 2023-2024 indicates that electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity and have become the preferred choice for customers.

US Electric Vehicle Competitive Landscape:

Tesla maintains a Leadership position but faces tough Competition in the US Electric Car Industry. It holds its leading position by increasing sales from $499,550 in 2020 to $633,762 in 2024.

Despite its growth, traditional OEMs such as GM, Ford, Hyundai, and BMW have significantly expanded their market share in the electric vehicle (EV) market.

The Electric Vehicle industry has shifted from a Tesla-dominated market to a more competitive landscape, with traditional automakers and startups gaining traction. Rivian is gaining a firm grip on the premium SUV and Pickup Truck Market.

US Electric Vehicle Market Share 2020-2024:

The US Electric Vehicle market share has undergone significant changes in the last five years. In 2020, Tesla was dominating the EV market with a 92% market share. In 2024, other traditional OEMs are also expected to enter the EV segment.

Why Tesla’s Market Share Shrinks:

Tesla’s market share dropped 16% despite maintaining a 10% CAGR growth.GM is the biggest market share gainer. The Chevrolet Equinox, Cadillac Lyriq, and Chevrolet Blazer are the top models with a significant presence in the Electric small and regular SUV segments in the USA.

GM, Hyundai, BMW, and Mercedes are showing positive market share growth while maintaining a double-digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

Rivian, Lucid, and Nissan have positive growth trajectories but modest market share increases.

VW and Geely are struggling in terms of both market share and compound annual growth rate (CAGR).VW must launch new EV models in the USA market to gain market share.

The USA EV market is shifting from a Tesla-dominated landscape to a more diversified competitive field. Meanwhile, brands like Honda and Toyota are growing rapidly but still hold a smaller share of the total market. Volkswagen and Geely’s weak performance highlights challenges in keeping pace with the evolving Electric Vehicle market.

Tesla’s market share has significantly declined from 92% in 2020 to 48% in 2024. There are two reasons behind it. There is intense competition from other OEMs, and no new products have been launched except for the Cyber Truck in the last couple of years.

Tesla is facing two types of challenges. First, it’s product degradation, and second, to launch new Models. The external challenge is that traditional OEMs launch new EV models that customers accept well.

Every year, Tesla loses its market share in the US market. As other brands launch new EV models, Tesla loses its grip. Customers have more choices in choosing models.

Electric Vehicle Market Shift in the US: Domestic Leaders Face Growing Competition:

U.S. brands dominate the Electric Vehicle market in the USA, growing from 520K in 2020 to over 900K in 2024, driven by strong domestic demand and incentives. German and South Korean brands are gaining traction, with sales reaching 130,000 and 124,000 in 2024.

Japanese brands lag, peaking at 47K in 2023, reflecting a slower Electric Vehicle transition. Chinese brands remain primarily absent, likely due to trade restrictions and brand perception.

U.S. automakers dominate their home market, while German and Korean brands are gaining market share. Japanese and Chinese brands struggle to gain significant market share in the U.S. electric vehicle market.

The market share of U.S.-origin Electric Vehicle brands in the U.S. market has steadily declined, dropping from 95.4% in 2020 to 69.2% in 2024. Tesla is one reason for the declining market share of USA-based automakers. This indicates growing competition from European and Asian Brands.

German brands have made the most significant gains, rising from 2.6% in 2020 to 10% in 2024 and peaking at 13.5% in 2023. This suggests strong consumer adoption of premium and performance-oriented electric vehicles (EVs).

South Korean brands have experienced steady growth, reaching a 9.5% market share in 2024. Hyundai and Kia are known for offering better value against their selling price.

Japanese brands also increased their market share from 8.6% in 2022 to 9.2% in 2024.

Like the EU, the US market is difficult for Chinese Automakers due to geopolitical issues and brand acceptance.

The Rapid Growth of Electric Vehicle Models Across Automakers:

In 2019, only a few brands had Electric Vehicle models, with Tesla leading with two models, followed by Chevrolet, BMW, Audi, VW, and Nissan, each having 1 model. By 2024, the number of electric vehicle (EV) models per brand has increased significantly, with some brands now offering multiple EV models, indicating wider adoption of EVs across automakers.

By 2024, the number of Electric Vehicle models per brand has increased significantly, showing wider EV adoption across automakers.

Kia, Genesis, Ford, Rivian, Toyota, Porsche, GMC, and Cadillac now have multiple EV models, whereas most had none in 2019.

Like Rigid Haulage, Ashok Leyland is still struggling to cross 30 percent of the market share in the Heavy-Duty Tipper segment. Its limited overload capacity is one of the significant challenges in this segment.

Segment: GVW 28T and above

Volvo is a leading player in mining applications and intensive mining. The Eicher Tipper has been spotted on numerous mining sites, and the company has successfully closed a bulk deal with mine contractors. Product upgradation is one of the significant factors in increasing its market share. The second reason is that its sales team responds immediately. Mahindra holds only 3 percent, which is considered a low level of product acceptance.

Brand-wise Tractor Trailer Market Share:

Tata Motors consistently holds a strong leadership position in the tractor-trailer segment, maintaining a 61 percent market share from FY 2020 through H2 FY 2024.
Tata Motors’ dominance suggests a strong brand presence, superior product offerings, and an extensive distribution and service network.

Segment: GVW 28T and above

Ashok Leyland’s market share increased from 27 percent in FY 2020 to 30 percent by the end of H2 FY 2024, reflecting moderate growth.

The Indian Electric Truck Report is our latest detailed analytical report, including 2030 forecasts. The key truck segment for electrification is mini and pickup trucks. These smaller, versatile trucks are ready to transform logistics and transportation. They are suitable for urban, semi-urban, and rural areas. The penetration of Mini and Pickup Electric Trucks is increasing. The key drivers are market demand, environmental concerns, and attractive ROI.

The Indian Electric Truck Industry:

OEMs should not look only at the market size of small pickup trucks in India, which accounts for more than 50 percent of the total truck market. The key to success in penetration testing is the size of the addressable market. The following attractive segments are Light-Duty Trucks and Intermediate Trucks. The Electric Truck will register a 42% CAGR in five years.

The Indian Electric Truck Industry will transform in the next five years. The Electric Truck portfolio will be rich and adopted by all customer segments, from Early adopters to Laggards. Technology will be easily accessible and affordable. The Mini and Pickup Electric Trucks are suitable for limited applications. There will be significant changes in the Electric Truck Industry by 2030.

The ecosystem will be highly developed, at least in urban areas. The customer will benefit from a wider choice of e-truck models and variants.

Electric Truck Product Market Fit:

Electric Trucks are new in India. They must match the expectations of the Indian transport and logistics Industry. Product-market fit is the most critical factor for Electric Trucks in India. A firm fit will enable electric trucks to offer an alternative to ICE Trucks, deliver attractive ROI, improve TCO, and ultimately deliver value to fleet owners. ETruck should find the appropriate truck application and satisfy the market’s needs.

The revenue model is a crucial criterion for an electric truck that should be profitable. Another critical point in product-market fit is a cost-effective customer acquisition model that reflects willingness to pay.

OEMs must create value by delivering a value proposition that meets the needs of fleet owners or fleet operators.

ACG creates the lean product process, which provides the following framework:
What Types of fleet owners need to be targeted for your eTruck
Which customer and which truck application need to be targeted?
Underserved truck fleet owners’ needs
Value position for each truck application
Define the MVP feature set, and
Create and test MVP with the fleet owners

The bottom of the pyramid discusses the Target Truck Application, the type of Fleet owner, and the truck’s specific needs, such as payload, Range, price, and charging time.

The User experience is at the top of the pyramid. The value proposition depends entirely on the customer segment. The critical question is which features customers are more willing to pay for. It depends on the type of Truck application, the Truck segment, and the Fleet owners. For example, mine owners are ready to pay a higher upfront cost. The tipper runs between 18 and 20 hours a day. Electric Tippers save a lot of money on fuel. Mini and pickup trucks are also attractive segments for electric truck adoption.

Product Strategy and Position:

OEMs have different Product strategies. Tata Motors uses its legacy product lines and brand to launch Electric Trucks. Tata ACE is available in various powertrain options, including Electric Trucks. This is an excellent example of a business case for a vehicle platform.

Indian electric trucks are expected to evolve from an overserved customer segment to a mass or all-types customer segment, transitioning from a high-upfront-cost option in 2024 to a mainstream choice by 2035. Initially, electric trucks follow a Disruptive Strategy, targeting underserved customers with limited reach.

This progression reflects a move towards delivering better performance, Trust, Reliability, Durability, and more comprehensive features. The company aims to capture a large share of the market through a dominant strategy aligned with diverse customer demands.

Other players like Switch Mobility are using new Products and Brand names to penetrate this segment. The company offers pickup trucks with superior technical specs.

Euler Motors recently launched an Electric four-wheeler with multiple options and a 1250 kg payload. The truck’s price range is 8.99 to 12.99 lakhs. Two product versions are available: the basic model and an advanced model with features such as night vision and other ADAS capabilities.

Mahindra Zeo was launched with a lower payload capacity, targeting specific, low-range application segments.

Eicher has launched its electric truck in the 5T-plus GVW Range with a 64.5kWh battery and a range of 160+ km, priced at around 2,800,000 INR. Another player, EVAGE, has innovative manufacturing facilities called macro factories. This truck is in the pickup truck segment with a 22kWh battery and a range of 100 km. Omega Seiki plans to introduce its Mika truck range in the light-duty segment.

Product and Segment Analysis:

Tata Motors always positions itself as a cost-effective Truck for the mass market customer base. Euler recently launched a 4 4-wheeler electric Truck with attractive ADAS – night vision trucks, positioning itself as a broad differentiator.

Mahindra ZEO targets a narrower customer segment. Focusing on the affordable customer segment is key, but the scope is limited. Focused Differentiators is identified as potentially the most profitable segment, but trimmed in size.

Electric Truck Launch Strategy:

OEMs need to launch electric trucks in phases. This is the implementation part of the Product market fit strategy. First, launch the most favorable product for your eTruck, the Early adopter customer segment with a high demand. The first region can be considered an established product performance and brand establishment.

After success in the region, OEMs can enter other markets. Based on various parameters, ACG helps identify the key markets for your electric truck launch.

Electric Truck Product Analysis:

Electric Truck Product analysis is the critical matrix that provides OEMs with information about whether their product is offered to the right segment. ACG created the Product frame to recommend whether OEMs need to work on Product Mix, Length of Product line, Breadth of eTruck, Depth of eTruck, and consistency of eTruck.

We analyzed Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Switch Mobility, Euler Motors, Mahindra, and other new players.

Electric Truck Product Life Cycle Analysis:

Since electric trucks differ in technology from ICE trucks, ACG developed an updated product life cycle based on factors such as technology maturity, changes in market growth, and customer-expected buying behaviors.

Demand Analysis and Forecasting

The Indian Truck market report provides key insights and forecasts for 2030. The Indian truck Industry reached 882K units in FY 2024, with an 8% CAGR from FY 2020 to FY 2024. The Truck market is projected to grow at a 5% CAGR between FY 2025 and FY 2030.

Due to COVID, Truck sales significantly declined from 645,642 units in FY 2020 to 557,120 units in FY 2021. The market stabilized in FY 2024.

Market Share based on Different Drivetrains and Forecast 2030:

Diesel-powered trucks dominate the market with an 85% market share. There will be a decline in this market share. CNG, Electric, and LNG will increase their market share by FY 2030. Other categories are also expected to grow significantly in the next 5 years.

Fleet owners are getting better TCO in alternative-fuel trucks, which is the key reason for shifting from diesel to alternative-fuel trucks.

Competitive landscape:

Tata Motors is the market leader with a 39% market share, but it lost 4% compared to FY 2020. Ashok Leyland and Eicher successfully increased their market share by launching New truck Models. Rigid Haulage, tractor-trailers, and Tippers are designed for high-growth applications. These include e-commerce, parcel delivery, construction, and mining operations. Ashok Leyland has concentrated on the MAV segment. Eicher, meanwhile, has shifted its focus to the heavy-duty tipper market, which is outside of its traditional segment.

BharatBenz’s market share in the Indian truck industry reached 2.1% in FY 2024. DICV has a good hold in the heavy-duty Tipper segment.

Eicher achieved a notable % Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16% between FY 2020 and FY 2024.

Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra could gain only 1% market share in the last five years.

Tata Motors has a strong presence across nearly all Truck segments, including Mini Trucks, Pick-Up Trucks, light-duty trucks (LDT), ICV, MCV, MAV, Tipper, and tractor-trailer, reflecting its rich product portfolio. Ashok Leyland will align with the ICV, MAV, MCV, and Heavy segments like Tippers and tractor-trailers. Eicher strongly focuses on the LDT, ICV, and MCV segments.

Our Application and model-wise truck database provides distribution in India based on different brands and model levels.

Willingness to Pay for Trucks: Comparison among different brands:

ACG recently surveyed truck fleet owners across major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Indore, Ahmedabad, Kota, Jaipur, Nagpur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Patna, Raipur, Vadodara, Mysore, and other large and small cities to understand customer sentiment regarding their willingness to pay for various Truck Models. The results indicate that willingness to pay varies significantly based on the type of truck application and the profile of the fleet owners.

For Tata Motors, there is a strong willingness to pay across 65% of its product range in various segments. Mahindra is highly willing to pay for its pickup trucks, while Maruti performs well in the mini truck segment. Eicher has strong demand in the MCV, ICV, and LDT categories, and BharatBenz shows a high willingness to pay for its tipper models. Similarly, Mahindra also registers a high willingness to pay for its mini trucks, pickups, and light-duty trucks.

Mini and Pick-Up Trucks Dominate with Over 50% Market Share:

Mini and Pickup trucks are the largest Truck segment in terms of units in the Indian market. MAV segment share increased from 8% to 10% from FY 2020 to FY 2024.

Product Strategies for Truck OEMs to Boost Revenue and Profit:

Truck OEMs should offer five types of Specs and features in the Truck:

Must Haves
Attractive
One Dimensional
Indifferent, and
Reverse

If the OEMs add features and options in an attractive space, profit and revenue will also increase proportionally.

Indian Truck Market report provides key insights about each point to increase OEMs’ revenue and profit. Adding new features is essential, but excluding some is vital to reducing costs.

Truck specs and pricing changes in the last ten years:

There have been drastic price changes along with product specs and features. For example, the Tata 1109’s price was around 1 M INR in 2011 with an 8,955 payload. Currently, its average price is 2M INR. It has just doubled in the last 14 years. The engine’s horsepower was 90 hp, but it has now been upgraded to 160 hp. This is based on our Indian Truck Price strategy report, which was published in 2011.

Earlier, a maximum of trucks were available up to 31T GVW in the rigid haulage and tipper segment. Now, the GVW of the truck is available up to 47.5 T. This gives better TCO for fleet owners. The truck’s average speed was 35 to 40 km per hour in 2011. This is because 180 hp trucks dominated the market and had poor road infrastructure. Now, 200 to 250 hp trucks dominate India with at least basic ADAS features.

MAN Truck was India’s first OEM to introduce 220 and 280-hp trucks. Tata launched the Prima range with a high horsepower of 280 hp, especially in the Tipper segment.

The Indian Medium and Heavy Truck replacement Tyre Market reached 19.5 million units in FY 2024. ACG forecasts it will reach 26.5 million units by 2030, with a 5 percent CAGR between FY 2025 and FY 2030.

The tyre replacement market is a significant segment of the new, retreated, and replacement tyre industry. The growth and market size of replacement tires depend on the truck’s application and loading pattern.

Five expectations from Tyre Brands:

Driving Safety
Operating Characteristics
Comfort
Economy, and
Environmental

We have covered over 50 Truck applications and mapped them with the Tyre market’s overload and payload transport practices.

The Tipper, Multi-Axle Truck, and tractor-trailer are the significant segments in the Medium and Heavy Duty Truck segments. Our report gives macro-level Tyre size market share, Growth, and market size for each segment of truck and Bus.

ACG is the only Consulting firm that provides Tyre size-wise sales, Market share, and forecast. After introducing new load norms, 10R20 was replaced by 295/90R20. Today, 295/90R20 is the largest tyre size. More than 25 Tyre sizes, including 11R20, 11X20, 8.25R16, and 10.00X20, are included in each truck segment of the Truck and Bus application.

The tyre’s Radialization also depends on the Truck Application. It is forecast that radicalization will be around 65 to 70 percent by 2027. Almost all new tractor-trailer Truck models come with radial tyres option. However, some fleet owners, like Container, still trust ply tyres for truck applications like E-commerce and Parcel. Heavy Tipper has a small tyre replacement cycle. Specially in sand and coal mine applications. These are the primary demand drivers of this segment.

The buying patterns of each customer segment are different. For example, Small & Medium truck fleet owners want at least 1 to 3 months of credit, while large fleet owners want a heavy discount on bulk purchases.

Due to the heavy margin available, some tyre dealers advocate selling Chinese Tyres to fleet companies. Some mining customers also use Chinese tyres in their tippers. The market share of Chinese Tyres is around 1.5 to 2%.

MRF has a rich portfolio that covers maximum price points to cater to different Truck segments. Apollo Tyre is a bit expensive compared to market leader MRF, but its rubber is soft and does not get sharp cuts.

There are three types of pricing existing in Indian Tyre Industry:

Retail
Institutional Sales
Tender

The pricing is different for each above segment. Our reports cover all three types of price points.

Bridgestone comes in the Premium tire segment. JK Tyre recently launched an awe-inspiring ad campaign that comes in the customers’ eyes. It connects with all types of fleet owners.

CEAT and Goodyear Tyres have low tire penetration in the Indian Truck Tyre market compared to MRF and Apollo Tyres.

Some fleet owners prefer to have a Continental tire for specific applications.

In today’s world, the most crucial question is, What Do European Customers Want in an Electric Car? Getting the customer’s pulse is the most critical and challenging parameter. Our study shows how customers decide to buy electric cars. What are the Technical specs, Functional features, and emotional parameters?

More than doing a survey is required to understand customers in Europe. Using different methodologies and tools helps to understand the customer’s wants and needs.

The key challenge in such customer analytics is that most people do not have actual experience with electric cars, as almost everyone has a lot of knowledge and information about ICE cars. For electric cars, “The public can’t truly know what kind of electric car they want until they see what options are available.” However, with our advanced customer analytics, we have created a clear image of customers’ requirements for different segments. Each segment has a different requirement, wish, and willingness to pay.

Europe has a diversified culture and language. We discussed with an average of 300 people in each European country, like Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Romania, Belgium, Estonia, and Bulgaria, to know their views, plans, and expectations of the electric car.

We considered the sample to have a good mix of Males and Females, Different age groups, urban and Rural Residents.

Customers give feedback on Willingness to pay, expected charging time, Expected range, Charging stations, and Car body type. This feedback is provided by various customer segments, such as urban commuters, Families, Young professionals, and environmentalists.

Three car segments are considered: budget, Premium, and Luxury. The Electric car specs, features, price, and other attributes are listed based on customer feedback.

To achieve success in the market, Electric car OEMs must not only focus on stated needs and fill them but also look ahead to future needs that customers may have and be ready to pay extra to meet such needs.

A special section of this report is the level of customer satisfaction and reliability Analytics, with the various parameters categorized between current and expected ratings. The report also dives deeply into the impact on sales, market share, growth, and brand image of customer satisfaction and delight, using the examples of Tesla and VW.

Most potential electric car buyers have ICE cars, and it is essential to know how customers prefer to switch from ICE to Electric cars. For example, Purchase price, Total cost of ownership, and technology-enabled safety are the top 3 criteria of the Budget car segment. On the other hand, for Luxury Electric cars, Driving performance, car brand, and Sustainability are the top 3 parameters.

The report also consists of the different Electric car combinations and the willingness to pay for them.
