The accelerated technological development of next-generation electric vehicles and their supporting components and the evolution of charging technology providers have led to quick advancements in EV charging technology. The operations of electric vehicle charging stations are transforming due to the rising penetration of artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and cloud computing, as major players in the EV charging market are beginning to shift their focus toward the development of smart testing protocols, which enables data connection between stations and EVs.
Many technology providers, including ABB, Delta Electronics, and Enel X, focus on next-generation electric vehicle (EV) testing technology to integrate cloud connectivity, AI, access via smartphone, and real-time simulation in their infrastructure.
Furthermore, the emergence of new software solutions, such as cloud-based digital solutions for actual-time fleet management and acceleration in electrification, are shaping the electric trucks market. For instance, the charging management software offered by EVBox enables users to track, manage, and optimize their EV driving experience. Hence to monitor this, AI-integrated efficient testing solutions will be in major demand over the forecast period.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the APAC electric trucks market at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
