Decarbonizing and electrifying the medium and heavy duty trucking industry will create significant revenue shortfalls; A coherent plan for the transition to electrification is a strategic priority

BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights looks at the impact of cost and revenue changes brought about by decarbonization and electrification on the medium and heavy duty (MHD) truck value chain.

Moving away from the internal combustion engine (ICE) is the biggest change that the truck manufacturing industry will likely ever experience. According to Guidehouse Insights, to protect their retail and service networks, OEMs need to develop strategic plans to mitigate revenue losses from the current aftermarket business.

"More so than mass production or regulation, decarbonization takes an established and mature industry and turns it on its head," says Oliver Dixon, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "These changes will reverberate along the entire industry value chain."

Guidehouse Insights suggests where dealerships become unviable, OEMs will likely need to shore up their distribution networks and, in some cases, integrate them into their own organizations. In seeking a new business model, OEMs may need to build out their soft product offerings, including fleet management, financing, automation, and training, to build new revenue streams, according to the report.

The report, Decarbonization Means Drastic Changes for the Medium and Heavy Duty Truck Value Chain, assesses the impact of decarbonization and electrification on the medium and heavy duty (MHD) truck value chain for three specific stakeholder groups—OEMs, truck fleets, and dealers—and considers the viability of the current industry business model moving forward. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
