Based on propulsion, the heavy-duty vehicle rental market is divided into ICE and electric. The ICE segment held around 95% business share in 2022 and is poised for significant growth over the forecast period. Range and flexibility are crucial factors driving the popularity of ICE vehicles in the market. ICE vehicles typically offer extended driving ranges on a single tank of fuel, making them ideal for long-distance transportation and tasks that require continuous operation. Additionally, these vehicles have faster refuelling times compared to electric alternatives, allowing businesses to minimize downtime. Thus, the extended range and quick refuelling contribute to the flexibility of ICE vehicles, making them suitable for diverse rental needs & operational requirements.
