The automotive industry is experiencing a rapid evolution driven by the integration of alternative powertrain technologies into vehicles. With the proliferation of low- to zero-emission cars, the case for reducing emissions even further has become stronger with the introduction of electric light commercial vehicles (CVs).

Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are intensifying their focus on reducing carbon emissions and incentivizing the use of electric vehicles (EVs). Collaborations between automakers, Tier I suppliers, EV component makers, and charging equipment providers is becoming prevalent as stakeholders recognize the collective effort required to build up scale to create a sustainable and thriving EV ecosystem.
