Growing Popularity of Foldable and Retractable Tow Bars Drive Asia Pacific Automotive Tow Bars Market

Foldable and retractable tow bars can be conveniently stowed when not in use. This feature is particularly appealing to consumers who want to maintain a clean and uncluttered vehicle exterior when the tow bar is not in use. It also prevents accidental damage to the tow bar when not in use. Foldable and retractable tow bars are adaptable to different towing needs and various types of trailers and equipment. Users can easily engage or disengage the tow bar, making it suitable for a range of towing applications. Foldable and retractable tow bars are designed to securely lock into position when in use, ensuring the safety of towing operation. Proper locking of a tow bar reduces the risk of accidents caused by an improperly hitched trailer. Owing to such advantages, various automotive manufacturers are integrating foldable and retractable tow bars in their automotive offerings. During a product launch event on June 15, 2022, NIO unveiled several notable vehicles, including the ES7 (a smart electric mid-large SUV), alongside the 2022 ES8, ES6, and EC6 models. Of particular significance, the ES7 stands out as one of the pioneering passenger vehicles. This achievement is made possible by including an optional retractable electric tow bar with an impressive maximum towing capacity of 2,000 kg. Thus, the growing popularity of foldable and retractable tow bars propels the automotive tow bar market growth.
