Author(s) : LI Z.

Summary

Natural gas-powered heavy-duty commercial vehicles (HDCVs), especially those using liquefied natural gas (LNG), are rapidly gaining traction in China as a cleaner and cost-effective alternative to diesel. While LNG HDCVs will remain essential for logistics in the coming years, competition from new energy HDCVs is intensifying due to advances in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and strong subsidies. This paper analyzes the market outlook, cost competitiveness, and policy landscape for LNG and electric HDCVs in China, providing insights into future fleet composition and fuel consumption trends.
