The Germany electric truck market size reached USD 38.36 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach USD 359.57 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 25.08% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by autobahn electrification projects and national procurement incentives that transform heavy freight corridors into zero-emission routes. Domestic truck makers and new gigafactories create a co-located manufacturing ecosystem, ensuring faster rollout and lower costs for fleets. Green logistics zones and consolidation centers in major cities complement these efforts with preferential access and operational advantages, which further augments the Germany electric truck market share.

Autobahn Electrification and Government Procurement Push
Germany’s Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport is spearheading the “eHighway” initiative, overhead power lines along key autobahn freight corridors enabling hybrid or fully electric trucks to charge while in motion. This concept, now expanding beyond pilot stretches in Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Schleswig-Holstein, transforms long-distance freight into a zero-emission operation rather than only an urban delivery solution. Simultaneously, Berlin has launched a procurement program that gives municipal logistics fleets and public-sector contractors grants covering part of the cost difference between diesel and electric heavy vehicles. Several Länder supplement this with local subsidies and expedited permitting for private charging hubs at distribution centers. Germany is among the top five markets, with Volvo holding 47% of the electric heavy truck segment in Europe by end of 2024. Over 1,970 new electric Volvos registered Europe-wide, including Germany. These combined initiatives clearly accelerate Germany electric truck market growth, shifting electrification from niche pilot to mainstream freight infrastructure.
High-Tech Manufacturing Ecosystem and Battery Supply Chains
Germany’s established truck manufacturers, such as Daimler Truck, MAN and Volkswagen’s Traton Group, are leveraging domestic engineering capacity to mass-produce battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell trucks. For instance, in May 2025, Mercedes-Benz Trucks announced it will expand the eActros 600 lineup with new variants tailored for diverse transport applications in Germany and beyond. The updated portfolio will include semitrailer tractors, platform chassis with additional wheelbases, flexible battery configurations, and longer cab options, all available for order starting autumn 2025, building on the eActros 600’s 500 km range and award-winning LFP battery technology. The country also hosts new gigafactories for heavy-duty battery packs, reducing dependence on imported cells and shortening supply chains for European fleets. This co-location of vehicle assembly, component suppliers and battery plants allows for rapid prototyping, shorter development cycles and cost reductions. As a result, fleets adopting electric trucks in Germany benefit from faster delivery schedules, robust after-sales service networks and a steady flow of incremental technological improvements. This manufacturing ecosystem ensures that Germany’s logistics operators have early access to next-generation drivetrains, turning the nation into a launch pad for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles across Europe.
