In 2023, the number of lorries in Italy with a permissible maximum gross weight of at least 40,000 kg stood at 283,000. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline. In 2024, there is a projected figure of 280,620 lorries, dropping gradually to 268,310 by 2028. This showcases a decreasing trend, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggesting a negative average annual change over five years. Year-on-year variations consistently highlight this downward trajectory.
Key future trends to watch include the impact of stringent emissions regulations and the adoption of alternative fuels. As these areas evolve, they may affect the market structure and demand for such heavyweight lorries in Italy.
