The automotive industry is going through a transitionary phase switching to alternative and less energy-intensive options of mobility, in a bid to reduce the environmental impact. Countries have been increasing their commitment to a greater reduction in greenhouse gas emissions following the 26th Conference of Parties meeting (CoP 26) to the United Nations. More than 120 countries, accounting for about 52% of the global emissions have announced new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).



 

Further, the electric two-wheeler (e-2W) industry is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 75-80% over FY22-FY25. This would result in e-2Ws contributing 7-10% of the overall 2W sales by FY25 from contributing below 1% as of FY21, according to India Ratings & Research (Ind-Ra) study. New model launches over the next few years with better specifications and performance of e-scooters at par with ICE vehicles are entering this space.


 

We take a look at a few brand launches expected in the Calendar Year 2022 –
