TCO and CO₂ in France the cost of tomorrow's trucks

The road freight sector is widely recognised as an efficient and reliable industry, offering fast and cost-effective solutions to shippers and freight forwarders.

In today’s evolving economic and regulatory landscape, operators and shippers face both challenges and opportunities in managing and optimising costs. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a key tool to support informed investment and operational decisions.

This IRU Intelligence Briefing combines a TCO analysis with a CO2 emissions assessment across all major powertrains in France.

The analysis covers the first 6 years of operations for an articulated truck and a rigid vehicle used in long-haul and regional transport.

It also provides a detailed overview of national assumptions, using the latest country-specific data, along with practical examples of how to improve efficiency and reduce both TCO and CO2 emissions.
