Market Research Future Insights

An in-wheel motor is a type of electric motor that is mounted directly inside the wheel of a vehicle, rather than being located elsewhere in the vehicle, such as in the engine compartment or transmission. In-wheel motors are used in some electric and hybrid vehicles to provide propulsion.

They can offer several benefits, such as improved handling and braking, as well as increased space inside the vehicle because they do not require a traditional drivetrain. The demand for electric and hybrid vehicles has been affected by the pandemic. The use of electric and hybrid vehicles may have been seen as a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation option during the pandemic, as they do not produce emissions and may help to reduce air pollution in urban areas.
