Developed in collaboration with IRU member ASTIC and national experts, the Spanish report covers:
- Country-specific, inflation-adjusted cost calculations for more accurate projections
- National vehicle prices by powertrain type, along with insurance costs and estimated residual values based on desk research and stakeholder consultations
- Equipment costs (e.g. tyres) and maintenance expenses
- Average annual fuel prices for diesel, AdBlue, HVO, CNG, LNG, electricity (depot and public charging) and hydrogen
- Ownership taxes by powertrain, including the Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM), the Impuesto sobre Actividades Económicas (IAE), and visados
- Average annual tolling costs, as provided by the Spanish Ministry of Transport
- Well-to-wheel CO2 emissions assessment across powertrains, factoring in Spain’s electricity sourcing
- Impact of ETS2 regulation on TCO
Who is it for?
Logistics and fleet planners who want to identify the most cost-effective powertrain for their operations
Purchasing managers seeking visibility into the real cost of different truck powertrains to guide their procurement decisions
Consultants looking for expert, sector-specific insights – including methodology and assumptions – to strengthen client recommendations and validate internal scenarios
Policymakers who need reliable transport data to understand local decarbonisation dynamics and guide national policies
What is it for?
Don’t guess. Understand Spain’s cost landscape and how policy shifts are reshaping the economics of every powertrain.
