Electric Trucks Are Accelerating Faster Than Expected, Here’s What It Means for Fleets
Description
Bloomberg recently reported a striking shift: electric truck sales are rising at a pace few saw coming. In just the first half of 2025, more than 89,000 electric trucks hit the road worldwide, a 140% year-on-year surge.
In this episode, the ZeroMission team unpacks why this tipping point for zero-emission freight has arrived sooner than expected, and what it means for fleets today.
We explore:
- The TCO advantage — why electric trucks can already be cheaper to run than diesel.
- Battery breakthroughs and warranties that build real confidence in resale and second life.
- Policy tailwinds — from EU CO₂ standards to Ireland’s SEAI Fleet Assessment Grant.
- The rise of charging infrastructure maturity, from shared depots to megawatt-charging pilots.
Our takeaway? The acceleration is real, and it’s a call to action. Fleets that move early can lock in years of savings, resilience, and compliance advantages. Those who wait risk being left behind with higher costs and stranded assets.
At ZeroMission, we help fleets cut through uncertainty with data-driven electrification roadmaps, funding support, and operational clarity.
Don’t just watch the transition happen. Lead it.
