Government Initiatives and Policies Favoring Low-Emission Vehicles is Fueling the Europe Automotive Battery Management System Market
Governments of European Union countries are proactively taking steps to increase the adoption of EVs, especially cars, buses, and trucks. The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) is a US$ 680 million initiative that will be active till 2027. As per the European Environment Agency, electric car registrations in 2020 were close to 1,325,000 units, up from 550,000 units in 2019. Furthermore, the recently proposed legislation by the European Commission sets targets to mitigate carbon emissions of cars by 55% and vans by 50% by 2030. It also proposes to completely cut emissions from cars and vans by 2035.Also, fuel economy standards were revised for trucks in the country in 2020, as the country is expected to reduce 80% of its automotive greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through its automotive strategy. Such favorable initiatives and policies are anticipated to boost the adoption of EVs, such as cars, trucks, and vans, thereby driving the adoption of batteries and battery management systems. Thus, various government initiatives and policies favoring low-emission vehicles is fueling the Europe automotive battery management system market.
Europe Automotive Battery Management System Market Overview
Germany, France, Spain, the UK, and the Czech Republic are leading countries in Europe that produce the maximum number of motor vehicles and electric passenger cars. The automotive industry plays a significant role in the growth of Europe’s prosperity, as it accounts for a significant portion in the region’s GDP. As per the IEA data, electric car sales in Europe, continued to increase in 2021 by more than 65% year-on-year to 2.3 million, after the boom of 2020. EV sales remained strong even though the overall automotive market has not yet fully recovered from the pandemic. Therefore, the presence of a robust automotive industry in Europe boosts the demand for automotive battery management systems due to large-scale vehicle production. European Commission and national regulatory bodies take numerous initiatives to support the development of the automotive industry in the region. For instance, CARS 2020 Action Plan, GEAR 2030, and Horizon 2020 are a few major European government initiatives that augment the vehicle production. The Horizon 2020 Plan focuses on providing funds for research & development (R&D) activities in the industry by launching programs such as the European Green Vehicles Initiative for smart mobility, road transport, and logistics. Also, in July 2021, the European Commission proposed a revision of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 to reduce carbon emissions by cars and vans to achieve the EU's 2030 and 2050 climate objectives. The supportive government policies for mitigating carbon emissions increase the adoption of EVs. Such regulatory support from the European government propels the demand for battery management systems, which bolsters the Europe automotive battery management system market growth.
