New commercial vehicle registrations: vans -8.8%,trucks -6.2%, buses +7.5% in 2025

The EU’s commercial vehicle market had a challenging year in 2025, with registrations falling across several major markets, a clear sign of the tough economic environment. The bus segment was the only exception. While the overall share of electrically-chargeable vehicles increased, progress remains too slow, as market uptake remains constrained by insufficient enabling conditions. Inadequate infrastructure, high energy costs, unfavourable total cost of ownership, and inconsistent policy frameworks cont nue to slow progress.
New EU van registrations fell by 8.8%, with the three largest markets contributing to the downturn. France recorded the steepest drop with an 5.6% decline, followed by Germany (-5.4%) and Italy (-5%). In contrast, Spain saw a surge in registrations, rising by 11.7%.
New EU truck registrations also fell by 6.2%, totalling 307,460 units. This downturn was driven in volume by a 5.4% decline in heavy-truck registrations, alongside a 9.9% decrease in medium-truck demand. All major markets contracted, with Germany (-12.2%) experiencing double-digit decline, followed by France (-9%) and Spain (-3.6%).
