2030 Target: 40% New Energy Heavy-Duty Truck Penetration, Fleet to Exceed 1.6 Million

The Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and eight other departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Large-Scale Adoption of New Energy Heavy-Duty Trucks," setting a clear target that by 2030, new energy heavy-duty trucks will account for 40% of the domestic market, with a total fleet exceeding 1.6 million units—approximately 20% of all heavy-duty trucks nationwide. New energy heavy-duty trucks refer to heavy freight vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of no less than 12 metric tons, powered entirely or primarily by new energy sources. The plan notes that transportation accounts for about 10% of China's total carbon emissions, with heavy-duty trucks contributing roughly 40% of that share, making them a critical focus for energy conservation and carbon reduction efforts. To advance the green and low-carbon transition, the plan outlines specific measures, including accelerating adoption and deployment, enhancing technological capabilities, and improving the operational environment for new energy heavy-duty trucks.
