The 2023 data shows Russia leading with nearly 24,000 CNG lorries over 3500 kg, although experiencing a slight decline of 2.47% from 2022. Poland and Spain follow, with minor increases, where Spain shows the most growth at 6.57%. Other countries, such as Switzerland and Estonia, have marked notable increases, while Austria saw a small decline. Switzerland's increase of 6.19% stands out among the smaller markets. Over five years, these shifts indicate modest growth across Europe, except for Russia's decline.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in CNG vehicle efficiency, potential regulatory changes favoring low-emission vehicles, and how geopolitical factors may affect CNG adoption. Increased environmental concerns might drive further uptake in markets currently showing slower growth or decline. Sustainable investment and infrastructure readiness will play crucial roles in shaping the future landscape of CNG lorries in Europe.
