This year, the Netherlands is leading the recruitment of an electric light commercial vehicle (LCV). So what’s behind this development?
The adoption of battery -powered electric light commercial vehicles in the European market is slowly progressing. Both the volume and share of fully electric vans decreased higher than fully electric passenger cars in 2024.
Part of the problem is higher costs than technology compared to diesel models. However, these tools have a limited driving range, which prevents intake.
However, new models such as Ford Transit, Renault Traffic and Volkswagen (VW) Transporter, as well as Stellantis’s updated offers gradually increases demand. In addition, zero emission zones in cities in Europe further encourage the adoption of technology.
In particular, the Netherlands stands out when it comes to cordless electric light commercial vehicles. Between January and July 2025, they made up 72.3 %of the total light commercial vehicle records in the country. According to home Volumes data, this is compared with only 8.4 %of the last year.

Why is the recruitment of battery -powered electric light commercial vehicles increases?
There are several factors in the Netherlands that can explain this important increase in the adoption of cordless electric light commercial vehicles:
Sharp market contraction: Total light commercial vehicle records fell approximately 79 %on an annual basis between January and July. In general, with such low volumes, the battery -powered electric light commercial vehicles will naturally have a much higher share.
Zero emission regions: Since the beginning of this year, some municipalities in the Netherlands, including cities such as Amsterdam, brought zero emission zones and pushed their fleets towards completely electric vans.
Tax Changes: Internal combustion motor (ICE) vans lost their exemption at the beginning of 2025 and now pays the entire BPM. Conversely, the battery -powered electric vans pay minimum fixed fees. Prior to January 2025, the internal combustion motor and fully electric vans were completely exempted when purchased by entrepreneurs.
Charging infrastructure: The Netherlands is currently one of the most intense public charging networks in Europe, which helps to adopt technology.

In the future, the share of the Batteryal Light Commercial Vehicle in the Netherlands can reach approximately 65 %by the end of 2025. This will bring the country to the pioneer of Europe in light commercial vehicle electrification.
As a result, the Netherlands is on its way to crossing Norway, which is estimated to reach a share of 41 %this year. On the other hand, the battery -powered electrical shares in the light commercial vehicle segment are expected to reach only 7.2 %in Germany, 8.9 %in the United Kingdom, 4.2 %in Spain and 4.1 %in Poland.
Therefore, the electrification of light commercial vehicles continues to be particularly challenging. However, the Dutch example proves that a combination of arrangement, infrastructure and cost advantages can rapidly accelerate the adoption of electricity in the sector.
Industrial Action Plan
In March 2025, the European Commission, the industrial action plan for the European automotive sector explained. This proposed measure aims to support the competitiveness of the sector and the transition to zero emission mobility.
One of the prominent points in the proposal was the loosening of 2025 CO₂ emission targets for automobiles and vans and the compliance time was extended from 2025 to 2027 from one year to three years. This provides producers more flexibility in avoiding fines. The proposed change in CO₂ targets was officially adopted on 27 May 2025.
Home volumes calculate that the cordless electric light commercial vehicles in the EU should have an average 18 %share to meet the 153.9 g/km CO₂ target. The fully electric market share was 5.2 %in 2024 and is estimated to reach 9.1 %in 2025. In 2026, this rate is expected to reach 11.8 %. While producers are trying to reach a three -year average, a sharper increase in 2027 is expected.
However, the home Volumes expects the light commercial vehicle sector to comply with the regulations between 2025-2029, not in the period of 2025-2027, but in the period of 2025-2027.
Look ahead
Home volumes estimate that the battery -powered electricity share of light commercial vehicles in Western and Central Europe will reach 46.2 %by 2030. Although the EU’s internal combustion engine ban will accelerate the transition to electric vans, the latest view envisages a 90.4 %BEV share for light commercial vehicles in 2035. This is lower than 91 %estimated for passenger cars. It is estimated that the share of the battery -powered electric light commercial vehicles by 2040 will rise to 98.9 %.
The role of e-oils and other Co₂ neutral internal combustion engine technologies is expected to be largely limited to national tax policies. Home Volumes also expects the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) in light commercial vehicles to be limited and their share is expected to peak with only 0.01 %.
