Are you ready to unlock competitive success, build a robust growth strategy, and maximize innovation in the world of commercial vehicles?
The year 2023 marked a renaissance for the commercial vehicle industry — light, medium, and heavy — after a challenging 2022. Chinese automakers demonstrated significant recovery with a surge in domestic sales and an expanding international footprint, steering the industry forward. However, 2024 presents new challenges as the market approaches saturation. Global conflicts and regional disputes further limit success. Despite this, growth will be driven by the proliferation of electric vehicle (EV) technology, increased modularity, and the rising importance of digital platforms. However, recent cutbacks in EV investments may boost alternative hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with lower price premiums that are easier to adopt in the short to medium term.
How Is the Future of Commercial Vehicles Shaping Up?
- Developed regions are largely saturated in truck sales, but emerging regions like ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asia Nations) and Latin America hold high growth potential.
- Expect stricter decarbonization norms and added incentives for EVs and alternative fuels through tax cuts, subsidies, and other government support programs, particularly in regions like China and India.

Which strategic imperatives are impacting the commercial vehicle industry in 2024?
Industry Convergence
Innovation and technological prowess are proving key for survival in today’s commercial vehicle domain. Hence, collaborations among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier I suppliers, and technology companies are rising, enabling accelerated innovation, cost reduction, and risk mitigation.
Internal Challenges
Traditional strategies and initiatives remain commonplace for legacy commercial vehicle manufacturers, but young companies are rewriting the rules with advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI). This dynamic environment is pushing older companies to adapt and newer companies to keep on pushing the envelope.
Transformative Megatrends
Green initiatives are guiding automaker decisions, alongside the rise of connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) applications. Connected and shared technologies in telematics and digital freight brokerage, though in their early stages, are rapidly advancing.
