Recommendation

Gottlieb Daimler created the first truck, and given its combustion engine, he dubbed it (appropriately) “the Phoenix.” That was in 1896. Now, the internal combustion engine is out and the green powertrains of the future will rise from the ashes. This report from the Boston Consulting Group describes how vehicle manufacturers can prosper amid growing environmental regulations and economic pressures.

Take-Aways

  • Regulatory and economic forces will hasten an emission-free future for commercial transportation.
  • Green vehicle sales in Europe, the United States and China will vary depending on how aggressive governments are with new regulations.
  • Commercial vehicle manufacturers will have to develop new business models, assure their customers, and invest in infrastructure and accelerated launches.
