The Future of Mobility – Part 2

In our previous article we have discussed why mobility is an important aspect of our daily lives and how it can affect global livelihoods. In this post we will be diving deeper on some of the other changes in this segment.

Trends and developments in Electric Micro Mobility

Electric micromobility swelled in the later half of 2020 due to the accelerated construction of bike lanes and other measures to promote mobility. Sales of private e-bikes in the United States doubled in 2020, outpacing the sales of all bikes which already saw an increase of 65% year on year. (IEA)

Private electric two/three-wheelers which includes motorised vehicles such as motorcycles and mopeds are condensed in Asia with China accounting for 99% of the registrations. While current sales are driven by Asia, the micromobility market is growing quickly in Europe, rising by 30% year on year, due to wider model availability and continued incentives. (IEA)​

​Trends and developments in Electric Heavy-duty vehicles

Electric bus

China continues to lead in the electric bus market with an increase of 9% year on year reaching a sales share of 27% in 2020. This was mainly due to the local policies erupted to curb air pollution. (IEA)

Europe also saw an increase of new electric bus registration of 7% year on year. Electric buses now make up 4% of all new bus registrations in Europe. (IEA)​

Heavy-duty truck

Global electric Heavy-Duty Truck (HDT) registrations were up 10% year on year with China leading the pack. Electric HDT registrations in Europe also saw an increase of 23% year on year. (IEA)​

​Electric heavy-duty vehicle categories are increasing

Buses were the earliest and most critical instances of electrification in the HDV market. The increasing demand for electric trucks is exerting pressure for manufacturers to expand product lines. The growth in electric model availability from 2020 to 2023 across segments such as bus, medium freight truck, heavy freight truck and others reflects manufacturers’ commitments to electrification.

Electric Vehicles and future mobility: A rapidly accelerating industry

Advancements in a host of interconnected technologies including internet connectivity, battery storage capacity and artificial intelligence have ushered in a new Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility (EVFM) era in the global transport industry. Propelled by growing eco awareness in the global community, EVFM is now one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.

EV & FM: What’s the difference?

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered by electric batteries instead of conventional internal combustion engines (ICE).

Future Mobility (FM) is a broader concept covering the futures of transport, ranging from EVs to Autonomous Vehicles, the Sharing Economy (like e-hailing services, distributed energy storage and intelligent transport systems) and more.

CHINA: The world’s leading EVFM market

China is an existing market leader in the Electric Vehicles space and is expected to continue to lead the EV market in the next decade.​
