Automakers are increasingly adopting gigacasting to simplify vehicle structures and reduce assembly complexity by consolidating multiple stamped and welded components into single large cast parts. Tesla's gigacasting process at Gigafactory Texas replaced 70 individual components with a single rear body casting and reduced casting cycle times from about 120 minutes to 80-90 seconds, enabling production rates of 40-45 castings per hour. Similarly, Volvo plans to replace about 100 stamped components with a single megacast structure for the EX60's rear chassis section, while achieving a 15-20% weight reduction and approximately 95% material utilization through in-house recycling of casting scrap. These advancements reduce part counts, shorten production cycles, minimize material waste, and lower tooling and assembly requirements, improving manufacturing efficiency and supporting cost-effective, high-volume EV production.

The commercial vehicle segment is projected to hold a significant share of the EV assembly market during the forecast period.
The commercial vehicle segment is projected to account for a significant share of the EV assembly market. The electrification of logistics fleets, public transportation networks, and last-mile delivery operations is driving large-volume procurement contracts for commercial vehicles, enabling OEMs to improve production utilization and establish dedicated assembly lines. Similarly, manufacturers are investing in purpose-built commercial EV platforms, creating new opportunities for tooling, platform development, and assembly operations. Commercial vehicle manufacturers are increasingly adopting dedicated EV platforms, such as Yutong's YEA architecture and Daimler Truck's eActros platform, enabling component standardization across multiple vehicle models. This platform-based approach improves manufacturing efficiency, reduces development costs, and supports large-scale production of electric buses and trucks, further strengthening the commercial vehicle segment's contribution to the EV assembly market. Government initiatives promoting local production of electric buses and trucks are further encouraging investments in regional manufacturing facilities and supply chains. The integration of advanced telematics, fleet management systems, high-voltage architectures, and connected vehicle technologies also increases the overall assembly value of commercial EVs. In addition, leading manufacturers such as Daimler Truck, Volvo Trucks, BYD, Yutong, Scania, and Tata Motors continue to expand dedicated commercial EV production capacity, supporting the segment's strong contribution to the growth of the EV assembly market.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are expected to account for a significant share of the EV assembly market during the forecast period.
The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) segment is estimated to hold a significant share of the EV assembly market because of its higher manufacturing content and assembly value compared with conventional vehicles. By integrating both an internal combustion engine and an electric powertrain, PHEVs require additional components such as battery packs, electric motors, inverters, fuel systems, and advanced control units. This dual-powertrain architecture increases assembly complexity, component count, and manufacturing value per vehicle. Many automakers use flexible multi-energy platforms such as Volkswagen's MQB, BMW's CLAR, and Geely's CMA, enabling ICE, HEV, PHEV, and BEV models to be produced on the same assembly lines, improving plant utilization and production efficiency. Strong demand for PHEVs and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) in China, led by manufacturers such as BYD, Li Auto, Geely, and Changan, along with continued adoption across Europe, supports high production volumes and assembly activity. PHEVs also enable OEMs to leverage existing engine plants, supply chains, and manufacturing facilities while gradually expanding electrified vehicle production. For instance, Volkswagen's MQB platform supports more than 40 vehicle models across multiple powertrain configurations, allowing manufacturers to use common production assets and reduce the need for dedicated assembly infrastructure. This approach helps lower transition risks and capital investment requirements while supporting flexible production planning. Manufacturers are also investing in dedicated hybrid technologies such as BYD's DM-i, Geely's Thor Hybrid, and Changan's Blue Core Hybrid systems, which require specialized assembly processes and component integration.
"Europe is expected to have a significant market share in the EV assembly market during the forecast period."
Europe is expected to account for a significant share of the EV assembly market, supported by its well-established automotive manufacturing ecosystem and ongoing transition to electrified vehicle production. The region is home to leading OEMs such as Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Stellantis, Renault Group, and Volvo, which collectively operate extensive vehicle assembly plants, powertrain facilities, and battery manufacturing investments across Europe. European automakers are increasingly standardizing production on dedicated EV platforms, including Volkswagen's MEB and upcoming SSP architectures, BMW's Neue Klasse, Mercedes-Benz's MMA and MB.EA platforms, Stellantis' STLA architectures, Renault's AmpR platforms, and Volvo's SPA2 architecture. This platform-based approach enables multiple vehicle models to share common battery systems, electrical architectures, software stacks, and manufacturing processes, improving production efficiency and reducing development costs. Similarly, OEMs are investing heavily to convert conventional vehicle plants into EV-focused production facilities while expanding automation, smart factory technologies, and digital manufacturing capabilities. The region is also strengthening battery localization by establishing regional battery supply chains and integrating battery pack assembly closer to vehicle production sites, improving supply chain resilience and manufacturing efficiency. Taken together, these factors position Europe as a key hub for large-scale EV assembly, supported by advanced manufacturing capabilities and platform standardization.
