Electric Light Commercial Vehicle Market worth $116.60 billion by 2032 | MarketsandMarkets
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The electric light commercial vehicle market is projected to reach USD 116.60 billion by 2032 from USD 24.49 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 25.0% during 2025–2032, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. The growth in the electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV) market can be attributed to the rising demand for efficient urban delivery and service vehicles, driven by e-commerce expansion and small business needs. Leading OEMs such as Ford (E-Transit), Stellantis (Citroën ë-Jumpy, Opel Vivaro-e), Rivian (EDV 700), and Mercedes-Benz (eSprinter) are taking strategic positions in this segment by offering purpose-built electric vans tailored for fleet operations. The integration of telematics, predictive maintenance, and route optimization technologies is contributing to a reduction in fleet operating costs by up to 20%, while also enhancing vehicle uptime. Strategic collaborations between OEMs and energy providers, including Stellantis with LG Energy Solution, Ford with SK On, and GM's BrightDrop initiative, are improving access to depot-based high-capacity charging infrastructure to support demanding commercial duty cycles. Concurrently, advancements in battery technologies, particularly modular battery packs and battery swapping systems developed by firms such as NIO and Ample, are minimizing vehicle downtime and improving operational flexibility. Emerging markets across Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and select countries in North America offer substantial untapped potential, supported by increasing urbanization and electric vehicle penetration levels still below 10% in many countries.

By vehicle type, vans are expected to hold a prominent market share during the forecast period.
Electric vans are a driving force in the electric light commercial vehicle market due to their suitability for urban logistics, regulatory compliance, and long-term cost efficiency. The significantly lower total cost of ownership, stemming from reduced maintenance, cheaper energy costs, and government incentives, makes electric vans especially attractive to fleet operators. Additionally, major logistics and delivery firms such as Amazon, DHL, and UPS are accelerating adoption to meet sustainability goals and benefit from operational savings. Electric vans are expected to witness an increasing demand due to lower operating costs, negligible harmful emissions, and government support. With the growing demand for electrification of mass transit and developments in battery technologies, pure electric vans were introduced to the market. OEMs are increasingly focusing on launching electric vans. For instance, in June 2025, Tata Motors launched the all-new Tata Ace Pro, heralding a transformative era in small cargo mobility. The Tata Ace Pro is India's most affordable four-wheel mini truck, delivering exceptional efficiency, unmatched versatility, and superior value. E-Transit Courier is a compact van that offers up to 300 km of range, up to 700 kg payload, and 25% more load space than the previous generation Transit Courier, enabling it to carry two Euro pallets.
By GVWR, the 6,001-10,000 lbs segment is expected to hold the dominant market share during the forecast period.
The 6,001–10,000 lbs GVWR holds the dominant share of the electric light commercial vehicle market and has witnessed steady adoption growth over the past four to five years, driven by early pilot deployments, maturing EV supply chains, and falling battery costs that have enhanced vehicle affordability and operational viability for fleets. The market is driven by the rising demand for electric light commercial vehicles that offer a balance between payload capacity and operational efficiency. This category includes popular models such as the Ford E-Transit, Rivian EDV 700, Bollinger B2 Chassis Cab, BrightDrop Zevo 600, and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter (long wheelbase variants), which are widely used by logistics companies, utility service providers, and urban freight operators. The 6,001–10,000 lbs segment of the electric light commercial vehicle market is primarily driven by the increasing fleet electrification efforts of last-mile logistics companies seeking to comply with stricter emission regulations and reduce operating costs. For example, Ryder System's June 2024 order of 200 BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric vans for its North American fleet, citing strong demand from e-commerce and retail clients for sustainable deliveries. The payload capacity and driving range offered by vehicles in this segment make them ideal for urban and regional logistics, especially where city access regulations favor zero-emission commercial vehicles.
Europe is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.
In Europe, strategic partnerships between OEMs and energy companies are driving the rollout of charging infrastructure tailored for commercial fleets, including depot-based and fast-charging hubs across key logistics corridors. Further, the growth of e-commerce is also pushing demand for eLCVs in parcel delivery and urban logistics. The market is gradually shifting toward mid-sized and large electric vans capable of 100–200 miles of range and over 1,000 kg payload, which aligns with the operational needs of fleet managers. Furthermore, leasing and battery-as-a-service models are gaining traction, helping to reduce the upfront cost burden for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The UK is the leading country with the largest market share in the region. Electric vans dominate the UK electric light commercial vehicle market. For instance, British Gas placed one of the UK's largest commercial EV orders, deploying around 1,000 Vauxhall Vivaro-e vans. As of May 2025, Royal Mail operates the UK's largest electric delivery fleet with approximately 7,000 electric vans, including a recent order of 2,100 Stellantis EVs (1,100 Peugeot E-Partner and 1,000 E-Expert vans), in addition to nearly 8,000 Ford E-Transit vans to accelerate its decarbonization strategy. These vehicles are favored for their compatibility with urban low-emission zones and expanding last-mile delivery needs. The E-Transit, in particular, has gained traction due to Ford's established dealer network and service support, while the Vivaro-e benefits from Stellantis' competitive fleet pricing and government-backed grants. Further, Kia is steadily entering the UK electric light commercial vehicle market, with its first dedicated electric van, the Kia PV5, expected to debut in 2025 as part of its Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) lineup. The uptake is especially visible in London, where congestion charges and ULEZ regulations have accelerated fleet electrification.
