description: "In 2025, China saw a remarkable surge in hybrid and electric semi truck sales, with over 231,000 units produced, marking a 182% increase from 2024. December alone accounted for approximately 45,300 new heavy-duty NEVs, capturing 54% of the market and reflecting a 198% year-over-year growth. This growth is attributed to government policies, including the phase-out of a national trade-in subsidy and anticipated new NEV purchase tax costs in 2026, prompting companies to accelerate their replacement schedules."

# Hybrid and electric semi truck sales topped 231,000 units 2025 –in China alone

While some companies are making promises, other companies are building hybrid and electric semi trucks. In fact, more than 231,000 electrified work trucks rolled off assembly lines 2025 –and that’s just in China!

China’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) truck sales exploded in 2025, with a total for new NEV registrations (a designation that includes battery-electric, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range electric trucks) reached 231,100 units for the year –a massive, 182% (!) increase over 2024.

The big numbers don’t stop there. In December alone, ~45,300 new HD NEVs were registered, capturing 54% of the entire new heavy-duty truck market for the month and showing a 198% year-over-year increase YoY and a 62% month-over-month jump from November.

Specialist Chinese industry website *CV World* points to government policy as a potential driver of the increases. There was a phase-out of a national trade-in subsidy for commercial vehicles and widespread anticipation of new NEV purchase tax costs coming in 2026, both of which could have helped drive demand as companies pulled ahead their replacement schedules to take advantage of the subsidy.
