Europe Garbage Truck Bodies Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Front Loaders, Rear Loaders, Side Loaders), By Application (Urban Garbage Treatment, Building & Mining Industry, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2023-2030

Europe shared a significant global garbage truck bodies market share. It is projected to grow at 3.6% CAGR during the forecast period. The Europe market for garbage truck bodies is expected to grow from USD 1.04 billion in 2022 to USD 1.36 billion by 2030.

The growing adoption of electrification technology and electric garbage truck bodies has led vital market players in the region to intensify their investments, introducing new technological developments within the waste management industry. For instance, in June 2022, a German-based waste management company deployed its converted DAF CF 340 hydrogen fuel cell front loader refuse truck into refuse collection operations. The project involved seven European trials to calculate the exact reduction in emissions emitted by refuse trucks.

Our report on the Europe garbage truck bodies market covers the following countries/regions – the U.K., Germany, France, and the rest of Europe.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Adoption of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Electric Garbage Trucks to Offer New Growth Opportunities

The recent industry trends show increasing demand for developing and integrating hydrogen fuel cell technology for garbage collection trucks in the Europe. The local government and industrial players aim to reduce municipal solid waste’s environmental impact. For instance, in May 2022, the waste management company in the Netherlands introduced hydrogen-powered refuse trucks in the existing refuse fleets to collect waste from residential areas. During two months, the vehicle will be employed within the municipality of Hoeksche ward, replacing the diesel trucks. Thus, the rising integration of hydrogen fuel cell technology in refuse trucks is a trend observed in Europe and might surge the demand for garbage trucks.

DRIVING FACTORS

Greater Focus on Reducing Carbon Emissions from Refuse Trucks to Drive Market Growth in the Region

Refuse collection vehicles consume high fuel and energy to carry out regular refuse collection operations leading to increased carbon emissions. Central European governments aim to deploy garbage trucks powered on alternative fuels to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and the environmental impact. Moreover, garbage truck bodies operate on regular routes that provide pre-determined distance coverage, giving leverage to integrate electric vehicle technology. Thus, these few factors, among others, drive the market growth.

• For instance, in May 2022, the capital of Finland, Helsinki, deployed its fully electric garbage truck to lower carbon emissions and air and noise pollution. The local government aims to reduce the impact of diesel vehicles on the environment by adopting a noise-free and non-air-polluting alternative.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Stringent Emission Regulations in the European Region to Restrain the Sale of IC Engine Garbage Truck Bodies 

Growing carbon emission is an ever-growing concern for democracies worldwide. According to IEA, in 2022, oil-related emissions grew by 180 million tons. Many regions focus on developing and integrating advanced technology, replacing fossil fuel dependency by adopting electric trucks and renewable fuel systems to reduce their carbon footprint. European local governments are working toward achieving carbon neutrality in waste management by deploying hydrogen fuel-cell and CNG-powered electric trucks. It has led to lower adoption of IC engine garbage trucks, affecting the market growth in this region.
