Light commercial vehicle sales in Europe by country 2022-2023

In 2023, France recorded the highest number of light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales, with some 378,000 vehicles sold. This figure represents an increase of nearly 8.9 percent from the previous year. The second-ranked UK sold some 343,400 units year-to-date, a rise of around 21 percent year-on-year. Lithuania, Cyprus, and Denmark were the countries recording the steepest decline in sales year-over-year.Delivery vehicles provide a lifeline in times of crisisIn 2020, light commercial vehicle sales slumped across Europe when the coronavirus pandemic brought parts of society to a standstill. Commercial vehicles are more likely to have a business-related customer base than cars. However, as online retail surged during the pandemic, the logistics industry emerged as a driver of light commercial vehicle demand. Europe’s second-largest light commercial vehicle market, the UK, saw record high registration figures in October 2020, with the Ford Transit Custom topping the charts as the best-selling light commercial vehicle in the UK. Electrifying the light commercial vehicle fleetElectric light commercial vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce the carbon emissions of the transportation industry. But passenger cars are electrified at a much faster rate than commercial vehicles. Major European manufacturers have indicated that model ranges will soon be available as fully electric. Electric vans are already cost competitive in some European nations. Norway is a world leader for the adoption of battery electric vehicles - the market share of plug-in LCVs in Norway doubled over the space of four years.

于2023年，法国录得了轻型商用车（LCV）销售的最高纪录，共计售出约37.8万辆。这一数字相较前一年增长了近8.9%。位居第二的英国截至当年销量为约34.34万辆，同比增长约21%。立陶宛、塞浦路斯和丹麦是销售降幅最大的国家。在危机时刻，货运车辆成为生命线2020年，随着新冠疫情导致社会部分领域停滞，欧洲轻型商用车销量大幅下滑。商用车辆相较于汽车，更倾向于拥有与商业相关的客户群。然而，在疫情期间，随着在线零售业的激增，物流行业成为推动轻型商用车需求增长的主要动力。英国作为欧洲第二大轻型商用车市场，在2020年10月创造了历史性的注册新高，福特全顺（Ford Transit Custom）成为英国最畅销的轻型商用车。轻型商用车辆电动化欧洲轻型商用车辆有潜力显著减少交通行业的碳排放。然而，乘用车的电动化速度远超商用车辆。欧洲的主要制造商已表明，其车型系列将很快提供全电动版本。在一些欧洲国家，电动货车已经具备了成本竞争力。挪威在电池电动汽车的推广方面处于世界领先地位——挪威插电式轻型商用车辆的市场份额在四年内翻了一番。
