U.S. imports of diesel-electric hybrid trucks, gvw not over 5 metric tons (HS 870441) totaled $312K in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLight hybrid trucks combining a compression-ignition diesel engine with an electric motor for propulsion — GVW at or below 5 metric tons — represent an emerging segment in urban delivery and last-mile logistics. All imports enter under a single line, 8704410000, which simplifies classification but requires careful distinction from purely electric trucks (heading 870460) and from diesel-only vehicles (heading 870422). The Netherlands and United Kingdom are the leading sources, reflecting European OEM investment in hybrid commercial vehicle platforms ahead of North American production scale-up.

The critical distinction is propulsion system: heading 870441 requires both a compression-ignition diesel engine and an electric motor capable of propelling the vehicle. A truck with only an electric motor — even if it has a diesel generator for range extension — may fall under heading 870460. Importers should obtain detailed powertrain specifications from the manufacturer to confirm which propulsion elements are present and capable of independently driving the vehicle.
Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, including hybrid configurations, are subject to Section 232 tariff measures. Importers should confirm current applicability and any country-specific exclusions or quota arrangements with a licensed customs broker at the time of entry, as the scope of Section 232 orders can change.
