Strategic Plan for Heavy-Duty Truck Modernization 2022–2030

This document is Cambodia’s strategic plan for modernizing heavy-duty freight trucks from 2022 to 2030. It was prepared to improve the efficiency, safety, environmental performance, and operational quality of road freight transport in Cambodia. The plan focuses on heavy-duty trucks and freight transport businesses, especially the need to replace old trucks, promote cleaner and more modern vehicle technologies, improve truck operation practices, and modernize logistics and freight transport business management. The document explains the current situation of registered trucks, freight transport companies, vehicle inspection, road safety, old-truck usage, emission standards, and financial support mechanisms. It identifies major challenges such as the high use of second-hand and aging trucks, road damage from overloaded vehicles, traffic accident risks, air pollution, weak maintenance capacity, and limited modernization among freight companies. The plan proposes four strategic directions: replacing old freight trucks, encouraging environmentally friendly heavy-duty trucks such as LPG, electric vehicles and fuel-cell vehicles, improving truck operation and law enforcement, and modernizing freight transport and logistics businesses. It also includes action plans, estimated budgets, responsible institutions, implementation timelines, financial resource considerations, and monitoring and evaluation indicators for tracking progress from 2022 to 2030.
