Redistributing goods by rail and water, reducing truck fuel consumption and fewer empty vehicles will reduce France’s greenhouse gas emissions. This transition will require electric trucks to be more attractive to carriers than diesel vehicles.
The France Electric Truck Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
