Jobs and training in the commercial vehicle sector: challenges on the rise
The industrial vehicle sector is undergoing profound transformation: electrification of powertrains, digitalisation of fleet management tools, tightening environmental regulations, and the growth of urban delivery. These shifts are creating new and urgent skills requirements, even as 39% of industry professionals identify recruitment as their primary challenge.
The trades of coachbuilding, maintenance, transport and logistics struggle to attract candidates, not for lack of opportunity, but because of a lack of visibility and appeal among younger generations. Continuous training, apprenticeships and work-study programmes are essential levers to close this gap and equip the sector for the challenges ahead.
