- China's electric truck program targets 40% new-energy heavy-truck sales by 2030, focusing on high-use corridors and fleets that burn the most diesel.
- Slowing fossil fuel use in China reflects deliberate structural change, not economic weakness, as EVs, LNG trucks, and high-speed rail reduce road-fuel demand.
- Other countries cannot simply copy China's corridor-based infrastructure; they need integrated planning and industrial ecosystems for electrification.
- China's shift to electric and LNG trucks improves energy security by displacing oil-based diesel, impacting global prices and regions like rural Australia.
- Oil-demand forecasts and crude-import data tell different stories; structural demand plateau may precede visible drops in import volumes.
