How large could the Europe Used Truck Market size become by 2033?

Europe Used Truck Market Forecast by 2033

Market Size in 2024: USD 7.9 Billion
Market Forecast in 2033: USD 12.2 Billion
Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 4.4%

The Europe used truck market is steadily accelerating from USD 7.9 billion in 2024 toward USD 12.2 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 4.4%. This consistent expansion is fuelled by a potent mix of cost-conscious logistics operators, tightening emission legislation, and the rapid digitisation of buying channels that make pre-owned trucks more transparent, traceable, and affordable than ever.

Growth Drivers Powering the Europe Used Truck Market

Euro 7 & Low-Emission Zone Mandates

In April 2024, the Council of the European Union formally adopted the Euro 7 regulation, imposing stricter lifetime emission limits and battery-durability standards for heavy-duty vehicles. Rather than absorbing the price shock of new Euro 7-compliant rigs, fleet owners are turning to late-model used trucks that already meet Euro 6 standards but cost 30–40 % less. Cities such as Milan, Paris, and Madrid have simultaneously expanded low-emission zones, banning pre-Euro 6 vehicles from urban cores. This regulatory squeeze is funnelling demand toward certified pre-owned Euro 6 stock, accelerating turnover and supporting higher residual values across dealer networks.

E-Commerce Boom & Last-Mile Logistics

According to the International Trade Administration, Europe generated USD 631.9 billion in retail e-commerce revenue during 2023 and is projected to reach USD 902.3 billion by 2027, a CAGR of 9.31 %. Parcel volumes are exploding, yet profit margins remain razor-thin. SMEs and 3PL operators are therefore opting for used light and medium-duty trucks to scale last-mile fleets quickly without the capital burden of new vehicles. The shift is visible in Germany’s DHL Supply Chain, which added 1,200 refurbished vans in 2024 to serve same-day delivery contracts, cutting acquisition costs by 25 % while meeting urban emission standards.

Digital Marketplaces & OEM-Backed Certification

Online platforms are eliminating traditional information asymmetry. Scania UK launched an end-to-end digital sales portal in April 2024, allowing buyers to filter by mileage, Euro class, warranty, and financing terms, with virtual 360-degree walk-arounds and AI-generated condition reports. DAF Trucks reported a 17 % uplift in used-truck turnover after embedding PACCAR Financial leasing options (24–60 months) directly into its platform. Peer-to-peer and independent dealer listings now coexist with OEM-certified programmes that extend driveline warranties up to 36 months, giving smaller operators bankable reliability that was once the preserve of new-truck buyers.
