Falling battery costs and high fuel prices are widening the economic advantage of EVs in favor of consumers and truck operators across Europe. Brussels/Berlin, 7 September 2026 — As battery costs decrease and fuel prices remain high, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming the most cost-effective vehicle choice in Europe according to a new report by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).

Our EV Transition Check assesses the progress of Europe’s road transport toward zero emissions. This second edition widens the scope to include trucks and buses in addition to passenger cars. With its broad range of data and analysis, the EV Transition Check provides a comprehensive snapshot of the current status of the transition to battery electric vehicles (BEV).

This market monitor presents a descriptive analysis of passenger car production in the European Union (EU), focusing on how production volumes and powertrain composition have evolved across Member States. The analysis differentiates between internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

New ICCT analysis of nearly 1 million plug-in hybrids in Europe found that the average gap between real-world and official CO2 emissions has widened from about 260% for cars registered in 2021 to over 400% for those registered in 2023—despite increasing electric ranges. (Berlin) September 3, 2026 — A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found that newer plug-in hybrids in Europe have, on average, higher real-world CO₂ emissions despite longer electric ranges.

The utility factor (UF) curve is the central variable used for calculating the official CO2 emissions for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in Europe. It defines the assumed real-world share of kilometers PHEVs are driven in charge-depleting mode—that is, in a mode using mostly electricity. The UF curve hence determines how low a PHEV’s official CO2 emissions can be.

Scout Charge-Park is a web-based planning tool that helps identify strong candidate locations for heavy-duty electric-truck charging infrastructure across India. It brings together GPS telematics observations from a national freight fleet with interactive mapping, letting users explore where trucks travel and where they stop, informing charging infrastructure planners to align with real operational demand.

Keralam has set out to build India’s first state-led electric truck corridor along National Highway 66 (NH-66). The corridor runs over 622 km along the state’s western coast, from Kasaragod in the north to Thiruvananthapuram in the south, linking ports, industrial clusters, and urban centers that together anchor Keralam’s coastal freight economy.
