E-Trucking Policy and the Impact on Logistics Real Estate: A Four Country Comparison (U.S., Australia, China, Japan)

The adoption of electric vehicle cars has been on a strong growth trajectory, and the same trend is expected for electric trucking (e-trucking) in advanced economies over the coming decade. This paper reviews policies in four countries (U.S., Australia, China, Japan) that directly or indirectly incentivize the adoption of e-trucking and finds that the U.S. has some of the most extensive policies at the state and local level.
