Results of Early Findings

• We were unable to locate any pre-compiled, publicly available information which shows the market size for commercial truck fueling broken down by fuel type (diesel, gasoline, electric) and vehicle class.
• Despite this lack of data, there does appear to be a wealth of existing data related to this topic which could likely be used to triangulate an estimated market size. However, additional research/digging would need to be done in order to attempt this.
