Hello Cchocolatetaylor,
According to the E-Traction Business Plan and Technical Introduction
dated November 2004, there are 100,000 garbage trucks in Europe.
Relevant excerpt:
?Inner city transit & delivery vehicles and garbage trucks represent
to greatest short term potential demand. In the Netherlands, there are
roughly 7,000 buses, of which 40% represent in inner city and close
regional use, and an estimated 5,000 garbage trucks. (?)Extrapolating
the Dutch situation to all of Western Europe there should be roughly
100,000 regional and inner city buses and 100,000 garbage trucks in
Europe alone.?

I failed to include the following information.
The current market volume for new waste collection trucks in Europe amounts to
- approx. 6,000 trucks per year,
- approx. 900 mill. EUR per year.
The current market share of side-loading trucks amounts to:
- 12% in terms of vehicles (= 700 trucks),
- 18% in terms of value (= 160 mill. EUR) as side-loading trucks are
more expensive than rear-loading trucks.
The market share of side-loading trucks differs within the various EU
countries. Major users are Austria, Germany and the Netherlands where
the market share amounts to approx. 20%. In the future, the demand for
side-loading
trucks will grow further due to the current policy of substitution
of rear-loading trucks. Major local markets will be France and Spain."
"The market leader in Europe is Faun/Germany with a market share of
approx. 25%, selling 1,300?1,500 trucks per year. Faun supplies all
types of waste collection trucks."
"A market volume of 700 trucks per year exists in Europe for
side-loading trucks (value: approx. 160 mill. EUR). These products
will continue to substitute rear-loading trucks and a medium market
growth of 2-5% can be predicted. Therefore, this is an attractive
market in terms of
market volume and growth."
