The off-highway electric vehicle market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing demand for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles, which are powered partially or completely by electricity from rechargeable batteries, contribute to reduced CO2 emissions and air pollution. They are supplied by renewable energy sources, leading to efficiency gains and acting as a storage source for renewable electricity. The International Renewable Energy Agency projects that the number of electric passenger cars will reach 200 million, while electric buses and light-duty vehicles will reach 10 million by 2030. This surge in demand for electric vehicles is a driving force behind the off-highway electric vehicle market.

The growth of the off-highway electric vehicle market is anticipated to be propelled by rising fuel prices. As fuel prices increase, consumers may turn to electric vehicles as a cost-saving alternative. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, from January to June 2022, the price of regular motor gasoline rose by 49%, and diesel fuel increased slightly more by 55%. This increase in fuel prices is contributing to the demand for off-highway electric vehicles.

Technological advancement is a key trend gaining traction in the off-highway electric vehicle market. Major companies within this sector are concentrating on the introduction of new technologies to enhance their market position. For example, in September 2024, Komatsu Limited, a Japan-based manufacturing company, launched the PC4000-11E hydraulic mining excavator. The Komatsu PC4000-11E is an electrically powered hydraulic mining excavator that merges the digging capabilities of traditional diesel machines with the environmental benefits of electric power, achieving emissions reductions of up to 95%. It also offers lower operating costs and can reduce total ownership costs by up to 50%, thereby promoting sustainable mining practices.
