Off-Highway Electric Vehicle Market Overview
The global off-highway electric market will be valued at 11,646 units in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4% over the forecast period. Vehicles such as excavators, loaders, trucks, and tractors, among others, used for heavy workloads at construction, mining, agriculture, and other purposes are responsible for large consumption of fuel and large numbers of emissions. As such several governments worldwide, are imposing strict regulations in order to control noise and air pollution caused by these vehicles, which is anticipated to contribute to the emergence of electrification of off-highway vehicles. As such, low energy consumption, strict pollution norms, and low maintenance and operating costs are a few factors anticipated to drive market growth.
The increasing demand for on-road electric vehicles globally is encouraging off-highway vehicle manufacturers to build and introduce hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Several OEMs are keen to explore the electric vehicle space in order to capitalize on the revenue growth opportunity it is expected to offer. Additionally, with the emergence of on-road electric vehicles, several suppliers and dealers also evolved and began developing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to cater to the demand for electric vehicles. This increasing shift towards electrification is expected to compel several IC engine manufacturers to invest in battery electric vehicle development, which bodes well for market growth.

Battery manufacturers are engaged in developing batteries to support long working hours as well as improving the durability of batteries to sustain harsh working conditions. In addition to this, battery companies are introducing battery management solutions (BMS), which are responsible for maintaining battery health by continuously monitoring the temperature and charging status of the batteries. Despite continued developments and improvements in the design and functioning of off-highway electric vehicles, several customers are hesitant to shift to fully electric off-highway vehicles. However, advancements in battery technology and the emergence of swappable battery design are expected to boost confidence in electric vehicles, thereby driving adoption.
As reported by the United Nations, construction sites account for 23% of CO2 emissions globally while the machinery and equipment at construction sites contribute to 5.5% of CO2 emissions globally. As such, increasing environmental awareness is driving governments worldwide to impose strict regulations to restrict the emission of particulate matter. For instance, in September 2022, the California Air Resources Board drafted a proposal stating rules to ban sales of new diesel big rigs by 2036 and transform existing trucks of large companies to zero emissions by 2042. The growing pressure from these regulations is compelling manufacturers to focus on the development and introduction of electric construction vehicles.
Although the electrification trend is anticipated to foresee strong growth, high upfront costs of off-highway electric vehicles may pose a challenge to the market growth. Due to the high capacity of these vehicles, they consume large amounts of power from a number of battery packs installed on the vehicle. The high cost of battery packs directly adds to the cost of the vehicle, thereby increasing the initial cost. However, governments worldwide are offering subsidies and tax exemptions in order to help customers to counter the initial purchase cost. Additionally, the total cost of ownership for electric vehicles is also expected to become lower compared to IC engine vehicles over the future owing to lower operating and maintenance costs, which is expected to drive the adoption of off-highway electric vehicles.
