China skipping LNG 'bridge fuel' phase as electric dominates
1 Nov 2 · 11d ago · 4 posts · 2 sources · development 1 of 1
Reporting reveals China's heavy-truck market is bypassing the liquefied natural gas transition phase almost as quickly as it adopted it, with electric trucks now cheaper to own and operate than diesel in most applications. CATL projects new-energy trucks will be half of annual sales by 2028, and independent studies show battery-electric trucks about 19% cheaper per tonne-km than diesel in typical conditions. Battery-swap networks are expanding rapidly to address charging time concerns.
“So China is skipping the 'bridge fuel' phase for trucks almost as fast as it started it.”

50% of all heavy (12tonne+) trucks sold in China are now fully electric. CHINA — likely one of the largest heavy truck markets in the world — at 226,000 units in the first 9 months of 2026.! But this is the real kicker for my # bcpoli # abPoli and # canPoli friends who are concerned about LNG. Quote: https:// electrek.co/2026/11/02/electri…

Electric trucks made up 50.3% of all heavy trucks sold in China in September. China’s diesel demand is on track to fall by about 230,000 barrels per day this year.
