Which truck powertrain has the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO)? Which one reduces CO₂ emissions the most? And what determines the TCO? We did the analysis in our latest Intelligence Briefing.
IRU’s latest Intelligence Briefing analyses the TCO, as well as CO₂ emissions, for five different types of powertrains – diesel, gas, battery-electric vehicle (BEV), hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) – across the five biggest EU road freight countries (France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain).
For the analysis, IRU used its own proprietary Alternative Fuels and Efficiency Model and factored in various variables such as inflation rates, tolls and incentives.
The Intelligence Briefing also looks into aspects such as the operational expenditure (OpEx) and capital expenditure (CapEx) of different powertrains in each of the five countries.

IRU also held a webinar on the Intelligence Briefing, uncovering some of its key findings.
