New commercial vehicle registrations: vans -13.2%, trucks -15.4%, buses -4.4% in H1 2025

The first half of 2025 proved challenging for the EU's commercial vehicle market, marked by significant registration declines in key markets, amidst an already challenging economic context. While the electrically-chargeable share increased, the growth trajectory is still not fast enough as market uptake continues to be stymied by the near absence of essential enabling conditions.
New EU van registrations fell by 13.2%, with the three largest markets contributing to the downturn. Germany recorded the steepest drop with a 14.7% decline, followed by France (-12%) and Italy (-11.7%). Conversely, Spain saw an increase in registrations, rising by 11.2%.
New EU truck registrations also fell by 15.4%, totalling 155,367 units. This decline was mainly driven by a 14.5% drop in heavy-truck registrations, alongside a 20% decrease in medium-truck registrations. All major markets recorded declines, with Germany (-27.5%), France (-18.8%), Spain (-13.6%), and Italy (-13.3%) experiencing double-digit reductions.
Although at a slower pace, new EU bus registrations saw their demand decrease compared to H1 2025, totalling 18,123 units. Among major markets, Italy recorded a sharp decline (-24.5%), followed by Spain (-10.7%), France (-8%), and Germany (-3.2%). On the other hand, markets like Sweden (+222.4%) and Belgium (+76.7%) recorded notable growth.
