What are Electric Light Commercial Vehicles?

Electric light commercial vehicles (ELCVs) are light commercial vehicles (LCVs) that are powered by electricity. ELCVs are becoming increasingly popular as businesses and organizations look to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs.

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global US Light Commercial Vehicles Market is projected to grow at approximately 4.5% CAGR during the anticipated period (2019 – 2025). The LCV segment holds enormous potential for the recovery of the commercial vehicle industries.  The LCV industry is to account for over 40% of sales volume in FY20, growing continually during the years to come. The market is to witness increasing product launches, which would expand the customer base looking for quality and profitability.

LCV manufacturers are developing robust product offering equipped with BS-VI engine, featuring customer-centric offerings on technology and driver comfort, while being contemporary and futuristic. Companies strive to expand their LCV offerings, a best-in-class payload capacity available through physical and digital platforms. While the medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) segment continued to remain under stress, the decline was narrowed by growth in LCV demand.

Commercial vehicle (CV) sales seen the barometer of economic activities, dropped by 7% year-on-year (y-o-y) in August, while the small and light commercial vehicle (SCV and LCV) category saw an uptick backed by demand from last-mile delivery applications and the rural markets. On the flip side, the demand for downsized engines, which increases the overall LCVs prices, is a primary factor forecasted to hamper the market growth.

Nevertheless, emission norms and technological innovations expected in the recent future would support market growth throughout the review period, presenting cost-competitive solutions. Also, the burgeoning eCommerce industry is projected to substantiate the growth of the market.
