Widening adoption of EV and hybrid EV
In 2020, more than 10 million electric cars were on the roads on the level. Most new EV registrations were for battery electric vehicles (BEV). Several factors contributed to the increase in electric car registrations in 2020. Major factors contributed to the reduction in carbon emissions and the longer range of the vehicle compared to ICE vehicles. Along with this, governments increased subsidy schemes and launched initiatives for EVs as part of stimulus packages to counter the effects of the pandemic. An increase in the adoption of EVs and Hybrid EVs will directly impact the sales of active grille shutters to be used in these vehicles over the next few years. Another aspect of the increasing demand for AGS in electric vehicles is the decreased need for cooling. Even though electric cars are less likely to need cooling compared to ICE vehicles, electric cars also need to cool their batteries and motors. The front-end module needs to be integrated with active grille shutters as it represents the source of air drag, which can significantly improve the performance of EVs.
