EU van registrations fell 8.8%. Trucks dropped 6.2%. Within that shrinking market, electric share grew, but the overall trend was caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Q1 landed. Sweden saw diesel climb 35%, reaching EUR 2.05 per litre. Finland hit EUR 2.32. The combination of higher running costs and approaching compliance deadlines changes the calculation for fleet decisions in Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-dates-for-q2\">Key Dates for Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two compliance deadlines are approaching. The LCV tachograph requirement takes effect 1 July 2026, affecting vehicles between 2.5 and 3.5 tonnes in international transport. Euro 7 type approval follows on 29 November 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For operators running cross-border LCV operations, the tachograph deadline leaves limited time. Fines range from EUR 866 in Italy to EUR 30,000 in France, and non-compliant vehicles can be immobilised at roadside checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-the-full-report\">Read the Full Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The full Nordic fleet Q1 2026 review includes a Q1 dashboard, market data, CEO commentary, and a six-point checklist for Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-read-the-full-report-here-nordic-fleet-report-q1-2026\">Read the full report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsfleet.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GSFleet-Nordic-Fleet-Review-January-March-2026-2.pdf\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.gsfleet.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GSFleet-Nordic-Fleet-Review-January-March-2026-2.pdf\"><strong>Nordic Fleet Report Q1 2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nordic fleet Q1 2026 picture shifted fast.
