Description

Heavy-duty vehicles contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for a quarter of global transportation sector emissions. Stakeholders in this industry focus on reducing their carbon footprint. The operational nature of the refuse hauler industry makes it particularly suitable for electric refuse trucks. In addition to electric vehicles, pilot programs for connected and autonomous vehicles are being developed. Original equipment manufacturers are collaborating with solution providers to establish comprehensive roadmaps for commercial rollout.

The refuse industry aims to lower carbon emissions by decarbonizing its processes and vehicle fleets. To achieve this, companies plan to enhance waste collection schedules and upgrade their fleets to low or zero-emission powertrains. Additionally, factors such as operational safety, improved route planning, and labor shortages are expected to drive the adoption of connected, autonomous, and alternative powertrains in the industry.

The research offers a comprehensive analysis of waste management and key metrics in the refuse truck industry. It also examines the effects of the transformational changes on the market for refuse truck tires. Additionally, the study investigates the evolution of demand for original equipment tires within the industry.

The study period is 2024–2030, with 2024 as the base year and 2025–2030 as the forecast period. Geographic coverage includes North America (the United States and Canada) and Europe, with a particular focus on EU4 (France, Germany, Spain, and Italy).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
