Electric Vehicle Powertrain Market Trends

Government enforces strict vehicle emission regulations, which will boost market growth

The environment and human health are being negatively impacted by rising levels of carbon and particulate matter emissions from automobiles, which has resulted in a serious deterioration of the air quality. As a result, governments all over the world have mandated strict emission standards for car makers. As a result, manufacturers have been forced to invest more in R&D for electric vehicles in order to offer consumers a competitive alternative, which has accelerated the development of e-powertrains. For instance, the energy consumption in Europe is largely influenced by the road transportation industry. In order to achieve its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, the EU continues to tighten CO2 emission standards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This aspect motivates the pursuit of practical solutions for the powertrain architecture of electric vehicles. Therefore, this factor has enhanced the electric vehicle powertrain market CAGR across the globe in the recent years.

Furthermore, electric vehicles are replacing conventional automobiles in a big way in the worldwide automotive sector. Various governments are launching measures to promote the use of electric vehicles. For instance, the Canadian government spent US$182.5 million to build a fast charging infrastructure for EVs. The Federal Government of Canada also unveiled its Greening Government Strategy in December 2017, which intends to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050. Additionally, according to Clean Energy Canada, the Canadian government spent $1 billion USD in 2017 to increase the supply of electric vehicles. Due to rising demand and manufacturing, there were more than 40 different electric car models available on the Canadian market in 2019. 2.5% of all automobiles sold in Canada are electric vehicles. Additionally, GOV.UK reports that in July 2019, UK authorities invested up to $100 million towards the creation of next-generation electric vehicles. As a result, the government is working with top business executives to hasten the development of electric and hybrid automobiles.

However, continuous fuel price increases and ongoing environmental concerns have increased consumers' preference for electric mobility alternatives, especially in industrialized nations. As a result, automakers are concentrating on creating e-powertrain solutions that are small, light, and appropriate for daily commuting. The market for electric vehicle powertrains is also anticipated to be driven by enticing government policies and assistance, including grants and subsidies, incentives for domestic production, widespread use of electric vehicles, and other non-financial incentives. Thus, driving the growth of the electric vehicle powertrain market revenue.
