As Europe accelerates its journey towards zero-emission areas, leading to a greener automotive landscape, the challenges in electrification stand at the forefront of innovation and transformation. When we think of cities, we envision a diverse array of vehicles, including buses, distribution vans, trucks, reach trucks, and especially in big cities, various electric people movers like bikes and scooters.
In this article, we delve into the most important trends, primary challenges, and the leading role of EMOSS Mobile Systems in this fast-changing electrification landscape.
Regulations
Ambitious emission targets set by governments are driving automakers towards electrification. Measures such as zero-emission zones, subsidies, and incentives play a pivotal role in shaping consumer and industrial behaviour and market dynamics. Currently, available solutions are limited to standard OEM vehicles such as passenger cars, 12-meter buses, and trucks. The same regulations apply to special vehicles such as ladder trucks used for relocations, railway maintenance trucks, or vacuum trucks. There are no exceptions for this type of rolling equipment.
Technological Advancements
Rapid advancements in battery technology, coupled with innovations in electric drivetrains and vehicle platforms, are expanding the capabilities and applications of electric drives across various vehicles. From increased range to enhanced charging efficiency, these innovations are driving the evolution of electric mobility. The advancing technologies are bridging the gap between the specific platform needs and their application in terms of power, reliability, and safety.
Modular Solutions and Scalability
Embracing a modular approach is essential for scalability and efficiency in electric vehicle production. The modular architecture is pushing the standard in the deployment of electrification, challenging suppliers to meet new standards, resulting in electric solutions becoming increasingly economically attractive. This will support the development and reliability of non-standard electric vehicles, driven by higher standards in the market for component suppliers and common regulations on automotive safety levels.
