Vans and light-duty trucks have become crucial for urban deliveries, with optimized designs for cargo space and fuel efficiency to meet logistics demands.

Governments are enforcing stricter emission standards to address environmental concerns. For instance, as per 2024 report by UN environment programme (UNEP), nations must collectively commit to cutting 42% off annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 57% by 2035 in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Failure to meet these targets and start immediate action could lead to a 2.6-3.1°C temperature increase over this century, resulting in severe consequences for people, the planet, and economies. The commercial vehicle sector is facing immense pressure to comply with regulations aimed at pollutants and greenhouse gases. As a result, the leading manufacturers are focusing on fuel efficiency, low-emission engines, and alternatives such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen fuel cells. Compliance technologies, such as exhaust after-treatment systems and smart fuel management, are advancing, promoting investment in sustainable transport solutions aligned with global environmental goals.
