Indonesia has lost 25% of its old-growth forest since 1990, with its intact forest area (natural forest undisturbed by human activity) declining by 45%. Palm oil is one of the key drivers of deforestation to this day, and big corporations like candy giant Mondelēz keep buying palm oil linked to deforestation.

What will it take for Europe’s largest truck manufacturers to catch up with new truck makers and cut costs for customers?

Behind the Curve, a new Idle Giants report, highlights three problems and one HUGE opportunity for Volvo Trucks, Daimler Truck AG and Traton's transition to electric:

💰 The pricing gap is a strategic choice, not a cost constraint. These companies are charging double the non-component costs for electric trucks vs diesel.

🔒 That strategy is locking out the majority of the market. At today’s prices, only an estimated 24% of new heavy-duty vehicle demand between now and 2030 is realistically addressable.

📉 And the cracks are already showing. They aimed high on price, but now there aren’t enough buyers at that level to support the scale they need.

🚛 The real opportunity? Manufacturers that rethink pricing to reach a broader base of operators can unlock far greater demand, accelerate scale, and strengthen their position for the transition to zero-emissions transport.

Strong truck emission standards and smart pricing create the level playing field fleets need to invest at scale without competitive disadvantage, and provide the certainty that justifies the investment.

If manufacturers truly want to increase their market share and create more demand for electric trucks, they should start pricing competitively and support the regulations that have been proven to support demand.

This report by Idle Giants finds that legacy heavy-duty truck manufacturers—specifically Daimler Truck, TRATON, and Volvo Group—are currently failing to secure their competitive futures by pursuing low-volume, high-price strategies for electric trucks.

“The business community is demanding long-term and clear rules of the game in order to dare to invest in the climate transition. With its lobbying, Volvo is undermining precisely this. The consequences of Volvo's actions are major. For the climate and human health – and for the group's own competitiveness.”



Article in Swedish daily Göteborgs-Posten:

Trots att Volvos egna riktlinjer slår fast att politiskt påverkansarbete ska ske i linje med Parisavtalet har Volvo aktivt motarbetat klimatregleringar, skriver två debattörer.

🚗 Buying a car is a major opportunity to align your spending with your values on climate and human rights. But the choice is more complicated than just electric vs gas.

Some automakers are leading the charge to clean and just auto supply chains through targeted, specific interventions. Others rely on generic decarbonization and human rights commitments that obscure underperformance.

Tesla, Ford Motor Company and Volvo Cars lead the pack in this year’s Leaderboard, standing out due to the impactful and sophisticated supply chain practices these companies have adopted.

🎉 Ford increased its score by setting a new supply chain emissions reduction target and publishing new lifecycle assessments with disaggregated data for battery supply chain emissions.

🎉 Tesla increased its score by becoming the first automaker to disclose concrete examples of remedy provided to supply chain workers for violations of their rights.

🎉 Volvo maintains a large lead over industry peers in their steel and aluminum decarbonization performance, and is the only company that has published disaggregated emissions data from steel, aluminum and batteries at the vehicle-model level through lifecycle analysis reports.
