The increasing demand for electric heavy commercial vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the electric commercial vehicle traction motor market. Electric heavy commercial vehicles, such as electric trucks and buses, are designed for commercial use and powered by electric motors rather than traditional internal combustion engines. The growth of these vehicles is fueled by their environmental benefits, cost efficiency, and supportive government policies. Traction motors are crucial in these electric vehicles, providing the necessary power and torque for smooth and reliable operation. For example, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2022, China sold 54,000 electric buses and an estimated 52,000 electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks, up from 50,000 and 37,000, respectively, in 2021. Thus, the rising demand for electric heavy commercial vehicles is driving the growth of the electric commercial vehicle traction motor market.

Major companies in the electric commercial vehicle traction motor market are developing innovative solutions, such as compact and lightweight traction motors, to gain a competitive edge. These traction motors are designed to be small and light relative to their power output. For instance, in July 2022, Mahle GmbH, a German automotive parts manufacturer, launched the SCT E-motor. This traction motor is designed for various applications, including electric passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and tractors. The SCT E-motor features a permanently excited motor design with neodymium magnets in a compact unit, integrated oil cooling for enhanced robustness, and the capability to utilize waste heat within the vehicle's system. It stands out in the market due to its high ratio of continuous output to peak output, exceeding 90%, achieved through its innovative cooling system.

In November 2022, Cummins Inc., a US-based company specializing in power generation products, acquired Siemens Aktiengesellschaft for an undisclosed amount.

A specialized electric motor known as an electric commercial vehicle traction motor is utilized to propel commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses. Its primary function is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for driving the wheels of the vehicle. These motors are specifically engineered to deliver high torque and efficiency, meeting the rigorous demands of heavy-duty transportation.

Electric commercial vehicle traction motors are used in various types of vehicles including buses, trucks, and vans. Buses are designed for passenger transport, often for longer distances or within urban areas. These motors come in different configurations such as axial flux and radial flux, and they can be paired with either single-speed or multi-speed transmissions. Power outputs vary across different ranges, less than 100 kW, 100-200 kW, 200-400 kW, or above 400 kW. The types of motors commonly used include permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), alternating current (AC) induction motors, and direct current (DC) traction motors.
