Market Insights

Factors like increased output of vehicles with in-wheel engines drive the growth of the hub motor market. In addition, increasing the performance of electric vehicles via hub engine systems drives growth in the market. However, less working speed and complex hub structures limit the growth of the market. Moreover, the increase of electric vehicle penetration around the world is planned to provide a major growth opportunity for players operating in the motor center market.

Increase in penetration of electric vehicles

Demand and production of electric vehicles has increased dramatically over the last few years, providing electric vehicles have multiple advantages over fuels. Components such as the fan belt, oil, air filters, head cap, timing belt, cylink heads or fire-cutting plugs are not replaced, so that the vehicles are cheaper and fuel efficient. Electric cars have are a favored option for reducing the expansion of fuel-powered vehicle markets. Furthermore, due to greater stability and traction control systems, automotive designers rely on designing hybrid cars with hub engines. The increase in the development of electric vehicles would also bring attractive growth prospects for players operating in the center of the engine market.

Enhanced performance of electric vehicle due to hub motor systems

Due to the enhanced performance and benefits of this system, the transmission, axles, differentials and drive shaft are replaced by in-wheel motor systems. Under this system, cars provide stability and traction control by stopping the roller, which rotates more rapidly than is required. This approach is slower because it is dependent on the use of delaying forces. However, hub motors deliver a torque or a braking precision in a very small scale, improving traction and stability control considerably by limiting the distance between them and enhancing dynamics and safety of the vehicle. The introduction of hub engines increases the efficiency of electric vehicles and the development of hub engine markets is in effect expected.
