Zero-emission truck market developments and opportunities in China’s Shaanxi Province

Deploying new energy vehicles (NEVs) is an essential step for accelerating the transition to more green and sustainable freight transport across industries. In recent years, China has announced implementation plans for ultra-low emission standards
targeting three key industries: iron and steel, cement, and coke. These standards include NEV deployment targets for freight transport (Ministry of Ecology and Environment, 2024a, 2024b, 2019).

Recently, Shaanxi started to deploy heavy-duty battery electric trucks (BETs) in coal mining activities and is considering using fuel-cell electric trucks (FCETs). The transportation of coal products is subject to the same ultra-low emission standard as the coke industry. This paper assesses the development of Shaanxi’s heavy-duty ZET market from 2019 to 2022 and explores the challenges and opportunities for ZET deployment in the province.
