Trucks & Buses
Heavy-duty electrification, honestly split: buses already in service by the thousand, truck charging still mostly a tender.
Electric buses are the operational half: 4 752 zero-emission buses were in service in Germany at the end of 2025 — about 14% of the city-bus fleet (PwC E-Bus Radar, in-service count).
Truck charging is the target half: Germany's Deutschlandnetz programme plans 4 200 truck charge points by 2030; the first 5 lots — 836 points across 124 rest areas — were awarded on 30 June 2026, and megawatt-charging (MCS) trucks only entered series production in 2026.
Across Europe, EAFO counted 2 405 operational heavy-duty points in 21 countries as of April 2026 — early, against corridor targets set for 2030.
Truck-charging figures are targets and pilots; bus figures are vehicles in service. The two are not the same kind of number.
