In 2023, Russia led in the share of lorries up to 3500 kg at least 20 years old, contributing 30.49%, with Spain and Poland following at 27.92% and 20.88%, respectively. A marked trend of variance exists, with notable increases in Portugal (2.76%) and Estonia (2.1%). Minimal changes were seen in Switzerland (0.94%) and Sweden (0.17%), indicating stability. Over the past five years, fluctuating growth rates were observed across countries, with both slight increases and stability depending on regional economic factors and vehicle policies.
Future trends to monitor include the potential tightening of emissions regulations, leading to reductions in older vehicle shares in western European countries. Economic factors and incentives for newer, more efficient lorry acquisitions will likely influence the continued disparity in older vehicle shares between Eastern and Western Europe.
