By 2028, electric trucks will be more financially attractive than diesel-powered trucks, predict ING economists in a report published Wednesday. By 2030 a quarter of the trucks will be electric, the economists think.

By 2028, electric trucks will be more financially attractive than diesel-powered trucks, predict ING economists in a report published Wednesday. By 2030 a quarter of the trucks will be electric, the economists think.

Thanks to, among other things, emission-free zones in cities, the electric truck will experience a breakthrough next decade. From 2025, 30 to 40 urban zones will be emission-free.

Truck producers are now testing with trucks that run on electricity and from 2021 onwards several models will be launched. According to ING, these trucks can be used well within a radius of 100 kilometers from the base.

"That makes them the most suitable to meet the target of emission-free urban distribution from 2025 under the climate agreement," ING said.
