The number of lorries with a permissible max gross weight of 3.5 tonnes or less in Italy is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual figure was slightly lower than 3.6965 billion metric tons. Year-on-year increases are modest but consistent, indicating a gradual growth trend. Specifically, the contemporary year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 is sustained around a 0.6% increase annually.
Future trends to watch for:
- Adoption of electric vehicles and how it may influence light lorry growth.
- Impact of regulatory changes on the logistics and transportation sector.
- Changing economic conditions or consumer behavior affecting demand for lorry transportation.
