Asia Pacific is projected to experience steady growth in the EV market, owing to the high demand for electric buses in public transport fleets.
Will EVs Take Over Sooner Than We Think?
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global electric commercial vehicle market share is projected to reach 2,026 thousand units by 2028, growing from an estimated 129 thousand units in 2020. This is at a CAGR of 41.1 per cent. Asia Pacific is projected to experience steady growth in the electric vehicle market, owing to the high demand for electric buses in public transport fleets.
Although the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed the market, many believe that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are well placed to dominate the future auto market. The cost of batteries is expected to fall, the range will increase, and there will also be more charging infrastructure, which will continue to pave the way for EVs.
EVs will probably take over sooner than we think. To gain insight on the impact of EVs within the commercial vehicle (CV) market in Southeast Asia (SEA), as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, Truck and Bus News recently organised and moderated a panel of CV manufacturers and suppliers.
The panel included:
Harald Schmid, Chief Executive Officer, Daimler Commercial Vehicles South East Asia Pte. Ltd.
KC Lim, General Manager, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Atsushi Uchiyama, Managing Director, Hino Motors Sales (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd
Idros Puteh, Strategic Customer Development Director, Scania Southeast Asia
Karen Tan, General Manager, Volvo Buses Malaysia
How will electric vehicles impact the CV market in SEA during the next five years?
Harald Schmid: Electric vehicles will come to play a very important role in the CV market, especially in SEA. As economies and cities continue to grow, finding sustainable ways to support this demand for logistics will become even more crucial.
There are already many countries adopting policies that are supportive of EV sales, for example, taxation schemes in Thailand. And across the region, there is very high regulatory interest in reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and increasing the overall quality of life in urban centres. Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) and Daimler Commercial Vehicles South East Asia, in collaboration with our customers here, are constantly monitoring the market situation to prepare for the future…..
