Streamlining the E-Mobility scale-up
In October 2021, while petrol stations saw long queues, enquiries for electric vehicles (EVs) soared. The petrol shortage provided an additional nudge to accelerate the already growing consumer appetite for greener vehicles. Here Chris Billinge, business development director, shares his insights into how this growing market can achieve further production efficiencies and create more time to innovate.
In September 2021, almost 33,000 pure electric cars were registered in the UK, setting a new monthly record and nearing figures for the whole year of 2019. And it’s not just cars — we can expect electric vans, trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles, and cargo bikes to become the norm in the coming decades. As the UK Government’s 2030 deadline for ending the manufacture of petrol and diesel cars draws closer, manufacturers are gearing up their electric vehicle production to see in a greener future.
