supports it
The HDV Market in Poland
The TSL sector plays a strategic role in the Polish economy, acting as a key driver of trade, employment, and international competitiveness, while supporting supply chains across both domestic and European markets

Poland as one of the European Leaders
Poland stands among Europe’s leaders in road freight transport, operating one of
the largest truck fleets and ranking third – close to Germany and Italy, and ahead
of France and Spain

Poland is also one of the European Union’s leaders in the registration of new heavy-duty vehicles, highlighting strong investment momentum and the continued expansion of its road freight sector

Switching to eHDV
The electrification of Poland’s road transport sector is progressing at a noticeably slower pace than in Western European countries, reflecting structural, infrastructural, and cost-related challenges that continue to hinder faster adoption
In Poland, several barriers to the development of electric heavy-duty transport remain in place, many of which are similar to those observed in Western European countries, indicating that key structural challenges have yet to be fully addressed across the broader European market
First registrations of new trucks in Europe
The development of charging infrastructure remains one of the greatest challenges for the sector. Its pace and scale are increasingly shaped by EU-level regulation, in particular the AFIR Regulation, which sets binding targets and obligations for all Member States regarding the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure
AFIR requirements for heavy goods vehicles
The development of charging infrastructure is associated with systemic challenges that represent a major barrier for the entire industry, requiring coordinated action from regulators, grid operators, and market participants
