The battery-electric truck market is at an early stage, with fewer than 60,000 units in circulation worldwide, including approximately 20,000 units sold in 2021. Ninety percent of these were sold in China, and most were on the lighter side of the category, between 3.5 and 8 tons. However, significant growth in the market is expected in the coming years as more governments and truck manufacturers set combustion engine truck sales phase-out targets, more models become available, and production capacity is increased. A robust charging infrastructure ecosystem, along with sufficient grid capacity, must be deployed early enough not to impede the growth of the electric vehicle fleet.

The world is walking out of the shadow of the COVID-19 lockdown. However, the pandemic has long-lasting side effects on the automotive industry. In the past 18 months, the supply chain has seen several disruptions that worsened as new geopolitical events occurred. Rising material prices are hitting supplies, while logistics costs remain high, and the availability of major components such as semiconductors remains far below requirements. Moreover, the acceleration of electrification adds a layer of difficulty. Electric vehicles require many more semiconductors and rare earth materials, while the supply is still in shortage. Lately, China’s supply chain was hit with lockdowns, slowing down raw material processing and component deliveries that are critical to the automotive industry from a global perspective

The supply chains of many organizations are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, potential business risks around supply chains are growing, due to increasing regulations regarding supply chain security, emerging cybersecurity risks, international sanctions, environmental and carbon concerns, product quality issues, climate-related weather events, increasing supply costs, and numerous other potential disruptors. Most organizations don’t fully understand their supply chain. Companies often underestimate the number of businesses, actors, and countries involved in different stages of producing their products. A security or production vulnerability in just one part of a given product’s chain could have a huge impact on an organization’s production, mission, or business if something were to interfere with the supply.
