Key Factor Propelling The Electric Vehicle Traction Motor Market Forward
The expanding sales figures for hybrid electric vehicles are projected to drive the expansion of the electric vehicle traction motor market. A hybrid electric vehicle refers to a vehicle type that integrates both an internal combustion engine and an electric propulsion system. The swift increase in hybrid electric vehicle sales is anticipated to heighten the usage of traction motors, given their critical role in both hybrid and electric vehicles. For example, data from January 2024 by the U.S. Department of Energy, a US-based federal agency, showed that plug-in electric vehicle sales climbed from 6.8% of total light-duty vehicle sales in 2022 to 9.1% in 2023, indicating a market share increase of 2.3 percentage points. Consequently, the rising sales of hybrid electric vehicles are foreseen to escalate the demand for electric vehicle traction motors throughout the forecast period.
