Industry Overview
The global electric truck chassis market size was estimated to grow from USD 0.4 billion in 2021 to USD 5.1 billion by 2030. It will register a CAGR of 32.5% during the forecast period. The chassis is an essential component of the vehicle, also referred to as the vehicle's support structure or frame. The chassis is essential for maintaining the drive’s comfort and structural component durability. Compared to conventional combustion engines, electric truck chassis offers a platform that is more stable, effective, quieter, cleaner, and safe. Electric truck chassis can be tailored according to specific applications such as regional distribution centres, long-distance transportation, or even heavy construction sites. The chassis serves as the framework that holds everything together. Thus, it is a frame that serves as mounting points for additional parts like the controller, motor, and battery.
Rising concerns about pollution, particularly from automobiles, have compelled governments in several countries to take some measures to keep regional or national pollution under control. As a result, investments in alternative fuels and electric vehicles are increasing.
