This updated report includes the impact of COVID-19 on the consumption of alternative fuels for commercial vehicles. Although there is lack of data pertaining to consumption of alternative fuels for commercial vehicles in 2020, the passenger car segment was the hard hit compared to commercial vehicles. Furthermore, the prices of conventional fuels went high during the pandemic period, which indirectly pushed the sales of alternatively powered vehicles as well as consumption of alternative fuels.
