Most importantly, the 2030\u20132032 target appears well within reach. Under current market dynamics, OEMs are on track not only to meet this objective but to exceed it by 386,000 electric LCVs. <\/p>\n
The 2025\u20132027 target is more challenging, with a gap estimated at around 126,000 electric LCVs. This shortfall largely reflects European OEMs\u2019 insufficient investment in dedicated production lines for electric vans and delayed scale up of new, more competitive electric models. <\/p>\n
In this context, Member States have the ability to create the short-term conditions needed to accelerate the \u201cmade-in-EU\u201d electric van market. France\u2019s 2026 electrification plan is particularly instructive in this regard: by offering new purchase incentives for electric LCVs as part of its \u201celectrification plan\u201d, the government has set an ambitious goal of 50,000 electric LCVs by 2026. If a comparable increase in ambition were replicated across Member States, the EU would come within just 41,000 LCVs of meeting the 2025\u20132027 target. <\/p>\n
This suggests that the target remains feasible under appropriate policy conditions, but that achieving it will require Member States to urgently strengthen their policy frameworks for LCVs, including both demand-side support and enabling measures. <\/p>\n
Looking ahead to 2035, projections remain very close to the Commission’s proposed trajectory, with a remaining gap of approximately 95,000 electric LCVs. This shortfall could be closed through faster electrification of large companies’ LCV fleets, which are best positioned to transition rapidly, as suggested in the following section on the Clean Corporate Vehicles Regulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most importantly, the 2030\u20132032 target appears well within reach.
